Guys i know that the T/A has some of the worst headlights and everyone is constantly looking for better and more importantly BRIGHTER lights. I recently talked to Daniel Stern who is America's premier automotive lighting consultant. His direct quote was that the T/A has one of the worst headlamp systems ever to hit the road in North America. He also said that the fog lamps are a total dead end and inadequate for any kind of illumination task.

Fortunatley he had some recommendations and i am happy to report that this is a fix that i believe many T/A drivers might be interested in. He refered me to Susquehanna MotorSports at *Non-sponsor link removed*
I spoke to Will and learned quite a bit while on the phone with him. This is a family run business in PA, and a direct distributor for HELLA.

As some of you might know the T/A headlights are not legal in other countries because they are so pathetic. So the solution that was used was GM had Bosch make BOSCH/Guide conversion headlamps that were designed for GM export vehicles going to countries that require E Code Headlamps. These units are 150mm and you can use any H4 bulb. They are a direct bolt-on replacement for the sealed beam lamps currently in the car. They have kits ready for either 2 or 4 lamp replacement and a harness to replace the factory wiring. Just fyi most factory lighting wiring harnesses are inadiquate and use wires that are way to small. I decided to replace all 4 of the lights and harness. The kit comes with Hella H4 60/55w bulbs. I asked Will if i should upgrade and he said that he would recommed waiting because this new setup would have around 400% more light output that the stock configuration. The kit comes with instructions, wiring, relays, everything needed.

I did talk to Will about possible interest from many of the users. He said that there is a good chance a discount code could be worked out for members of the Forum, however he doesnt want it just posted in an area where non-members could atain it. I am sure there are going to be some questions feel free to PM me with any. I can say that Will was great on the phone and my kit shipped out same day as the order. I will post some pics once i am started with the project.

Just so everyone knows Susquehanna sells alot of products not just lights, so look over their site or give them a call. Their number is on their site.

Thanks

Matt
