Default did sealed beam conversion on SexyWS6mamas WS6 [PICS]

i was very impressed for $88. came with the housings (glass) and choice of bulbs we got the most expensive xenon white/blue option. we did the low beams and i only had enough time to do one b4 she had to go back to work. but it gave me a chance for some good comparo pics.


the bulb just wires up with female spades, easy enough. the connector side, they tell you to cut off the factory plug. no way was i doing that i used a little trick i did on my SS fog upgrade. used a male spade connector, cut the blade in half. and just slide it right in the factory plug holes. then electrical taped it all up to water proof it. worked great!









these pics were taken in the day time. but u can still tell the huge improvement in color and light. at night you can REALLY see the difference. they look really good (and expensive )

before


after

side by side comparo

It's too hard to tell from pics for me to decide to go with this, my fogs are a lot wider then a T/A and white anyhow, and dusk or dawn I just use those. Only at dark night do I put on the headlights. I'm afraid the light motors will burn out fast if I keep putting them up and down.

Did the same conversion. I see a whole lot better at night. Did you have to adjust your headlights at all? I ended going to my local Pep Boys and lit up their big concrete wall to adjust my lights. I also did my fog lights too.

By the way what gauge of wire are you using for the extensions?

Ya jus' have to understand, ..., That's 'Silver' for ya!
Tells it like he see's it, ..., but I gotta agree with 'Silver' on the yellow, ..., I've always hated the combo too.
But hey! This isn't about the color combo, this is about the light mod!

So, back the topic, ...

I like the bulb change too & may have to try it.
