Re: Headlights for 1600

Chris,

Phat headlights, I love them. I have IPF H4 inserts for the low/high beam (outer) and cibie high beam inserts. The low/high are 80/100 watts respectively, and the cibies are 100watts. You can put whatever rated globes in you wish as the globes can be changed without changing the glass shell insert. I am going to go to 100/130 low/high in the IPF inserts and 130watts in the Cibies. You have to wire up tough relays to cope with the extra power draw. I have 6 relays operating my headlitghts.

You can get H4 inserts from Hondas and nearly all Euro cars, or buy them of the shelf. They will bolt in to your 1600. My IPF inserts are made by the same company who make 4WD spotlights and are good on high beam, but poor light distribution on low beam.

Anyway good luck, and have fun blinding the next tool who cuts you off!!!!

Damien
