KJ Headlight Upgrades

[cmohr]

Yeah, I put in the Blue ones as well, much much better. Also, Ed installed a HID lighting system in his, I think he has a write up on it somewhere here, He loves them.

Heres the link

As far as I understand it, price and colour temperature.

So would you say the pricier ones are 'better' ?

As a general rule of thumb, you get what you pay for.....
And it comes down to personal preference, what you want and what works best for you.

I recently put in some Narva Plus 50s. (in standard non-blue colour)
They are significantly brighter than the stockies i had prior.
$35 for the pair of H4s, so they are a pretty cheap upgrade.

Physics-wise, all things being the same, the blue tinted globes are not brighter than standard non-tinted ones. The blue tint is a filter that lets the blue though (and not the other colours etc), so the blue tinted ones are actually dimmer. It's people's perception of the colour temperature that make them appear brighter. I find that the blues are a bit harsh on my eyes, so i prefer more of a whitey-yellow.

Personal preference i suppose. The narva plus 50s in the arctic blue are a few $ dearer - not much though.

HID kits are cheap as too... but i'd personally only do a HID conversion to spotties.

Any suggestions on where to mount a switch for driving lights or spotties on 2005 kj? I cant see any switch panels for any auxiliary lights or other items. If possible would love some photos how others have dealt with this problem

I've mounted mine on this little panel which you can pry off with a flat screwdriver. Good access to the back for wiring etc. There's another similar panel on the other side of the steering wheel which you could also use.
