Headlight question?

My headlight really suck right now I was thinking about getting some PIAA 9004 super white bulbs. I dont need perfect lighting I just need something better than what I have now. Will this be a big improvement and also which model should I be so they dont burn out in 2 days?

Do the 9007 bulb conversion; I did it and highly recomended, is 55 watts of instead only 45 watts from 9004. You can find instructions on the stickies and you need to get upgraded harness to get power directly from battery.

Stock. Anything higher will melt your harness, unless you buy an upgraded one.

Dont forget to change the beam angle after the conversion. It will seem like your highbeaming.

even the upgrades will melt

I had the socket on an upgraded harness burn. It still is working but I am replacing it as soon as I can find a heavy duty one.

Definitely get the Nokya stage IIs. I used maybe 5,6 other company lights so far and by far the best looking lights.
