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 |

Options for upgrading headlights on '89 Accord?
I had Cibie 200mm's on my 1987 Accord. H4(9003) lamp
is legal wattage with excellent pattern and cut-off. Third from the bottom at: http://www.cibieusa.com/cibie_main_frameset.htm These were $50+ per pair in late 80's. A little cheaper at: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/p.../products.html Or, Hella's are even cheaper.
