By going round you can get better lighting for cheap. On Ebay just search 7" headlights and locate some european-spec (eg H4/9003) headlights. You can buy the pair for well under $50.

Then you can use brighter bulbs than the standard 55w/60w thanks to your previous install of those relays.

You will have much better lighter than most people on this board.

All you need is the headlight buckets and a grill.

If you're in the Dallas area, you can have my set for free. :)
