KE70 Twin Headlight Upgrades

Postby wde_bdy » Thu Apr 20, 2006 12:41 am

Right, got a set of twin round headlights sitting in the shed and looking to slot them in to my KE70 ute to replace the large square lights. Obviously this will need custom grille which is no big deal, but what I'm interested in is bulb upgrades. Legally in NZ you can't run 4 low beam lights so the 4 semi sealed housings with 130/100W bulbs is out but I can do semi sealed outers with the 130/100W's and maybe 100 or 150W inner beams in semi sealed housings.
What i would like to know is has anyone else done this? Where was a good place to source the housings? Did you have any legality issues? And did you upgrade the wiring? (I will probably upgrade the wiring just to be on the safe side anyway.)

You of all people should know its illegal to replace bulbs with higher wattage ones :P Though I suppose being custom it might be able to slip under the radar.
