Gq head lights

[Bigrig]

food for thought! Hey bigrig where do you get those narva crystal lens from? ebay?

Got mine through Redlands 4WD mate - would assume anyone who sells Narva gear could get them though ...

Just my 2c worth.
Had the same problem when I bought the GQ, lights were worse than crap.
First I upgraded the wiring loom with heavy 6mm cable, relays and ceramic plugs.
Made a huge difference to the original sealed bulbs, much bighter but still yellow.
The original wires are a joke, they look like they wouldn't cope with LED's.
Next upgrade was the Narva reflectors and higher wattage globes, the higher wattage made no difference to light output.
Next came the philips 55/60w crystal 4300 globes, awsome white light, like daylight.
The Narva reflectors come with parkers, nice touch, but you need to grind the backplate to make them fit.
Narvas have a waterproof boot, but its not much of a seal, I used some Dow Corning silicon grease, the stuff sparkies use to waterproof wiring, to seal them, also works great at sealing and protecting door rubbers. Holden recommend the grease to stop door rubbers squealing and creaking.

hi , i just put 2 crystal semi sealed beams in for $30 each plusa set of narva plus 50% h4 60/55 watt globes at $10 each, these globes cause no extra load on your wiring at all , turned out the best set of lights i have ever had on any car/4x4 great spread on low beam and great hi beam . i live in the country do lots of night drivingwith no traffic or street lights but lot of roo and deer and i have not bothered to fit my spotties for 4 months now because i dont really need them , check my photo gallery you will see them !

Ok, I will pipe up here. IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA HID headlights, are not legal unless the vehicle came out of the factory with them. How do i know this ?? I got busted and a trip to regency park ( our RTA inspection center ) and $650 of other repairs later. Now you might be thinking I wont get done,.... well put it this way I aint young, I drive like a grandpa ( yes I am one ), some young prick copper knew the rules.. and i got done as i was pulling out of a service station near Elizabeth shopping center , the Shell near the aquadome for all you Adelaide peoples.

I now have a Hella H4 kit, with aftermarket Calibre Halogen Globe - 12V, 55W, Xenon Blue globes. low beam is ok now, high beam... thats what the spottys are for

Go HID, I got a kit from KPD 4x4 and they are great, dont require any loom upgrade as they have their own. Just don't opt for the blue tint globe and then they just look like the high output halogens.

Mate I've never seen a HID that looks like a halogen at all. HIDs are also illegal.

[TD_Wagon]

Well yeah they're not exactly the same.. but its really dependent on the temp of globes you get.

I should have worded it, that the ones I have are a very white light, and incomparison to the Phillips +100 halogens I put in my old commo they are both very close to each other.
Yes they are illegal, but i think going 80-100 halogens will be bliding people too...

[Winnie]

It all depends on the reflector, really. The 7" inserts are not designed for HID light and will not disperse it well, that's why oncoming drivers are blinded.

[TD_Wagon]

Yeah thats it, you see a factory HID system and its a perfect line where the headlights are aimed to, HID is definately a gamble but they are wicked upgrade. The main reason I went HID was it was cheaper than buying a headlight loom upgrade and 80/100 sealed beams!
