    I have found a set of original 32 headlights and want to know the best way to really get some light out of them. I rebuilt mine on my sedan with halogens but they still don't throw out much light.

    I use a set of the NEW Bob Drake headlight reflectors.
    He had them designed by a lighting engineer and they do work good. A lot better than the halogen conversions of the past. I also went to a set of Sylvania SilverStar H4 bulbs. A new more efficent design.

    NOW ... I can run down the interstate beside my wife in her new DTS Cadillac and my lights illuminate the road as well as her Cadillac. :)

    Bob Drake runs the headlight reflectors for a hundred dollars every so often. The SilverStar bulbs run about 20 a piece ... but well worth it IMHO.

    I am using 30/31 headlights on my roadster and run the haligon bulb through fluted lenses. They are really bright. Key is to have a new/polished reflector.

    I run Silverstar bulbs in 682c's .They also make an 1157 taillight bulb that makes as much light as halogen ones.
