Options for upgrading headlights on '89 Accord?
What are my options for increasing the light output from the headlights on an
'89 Accord? Googling a little it seems that they're a standard 4" x 6" sealed beam. Can this be upgraded to H4 bulbs (with relays & heavier wiring, of course)? Any "got ya's" in doing such an upgrade? Thanks, -- John English |

In this case (headlights), it's certain. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". Now filtering out all posts originating from Google Groups.
