Daniel Stern Lighting!

www.danielsternlighting.com

Daniel offers fast, wonderful service. Although the connectors aren't listed
on the site, a quick e-mail or phone call to him will get you what you need.
He has been an absolute lifesaver for me with the lighting I have on my
Vanagon (all told with SA Grill and ProjektZwo Lights, I've got 560 watts of
lighting).

He is a wonderful source of knowledge. All he does is lighting. There is
another popular list vendor (that I think highly of) that sells a lot of
lighting. What this list vendor sold me as the "proper" H4 light, Daniel
actually informed me was designed specifically for motorcycles. That same
list vendor sold me some pretty crappy H4 connectors that will not stand up
to high wattage applications. The connectors from Daniel Stern Lighting are
very robust and will not be the weak link in any high wattage application.

I am not affiliated in any way with Daniel Stern Lighting. I am merely a
very, very pleased customer. I highly recommend them.

Cheers,
Bruce
