Installed new Sylvania Headlights in M1009

[simoncrk]

I went to the local parts store and bought 2 Sylvania headlites for a 1985 K5 Chevy Blazer at $20 each, and boy did they make a difference!!! I really don't have any pics to show, but they are much brighter. I suggest if you are goin to do it, go ahead and get new lite adjuster screws as well. Mine were stripped out. They were only $2.99 for a pair, it takes two sets to replace them. Has anyone else done this?

I use Sylvania's Silver Star bulbs in my van and they are great. They are expensine but man they put out light.

I just put the new Sylvania headlights in my Blazer about two weeks ago and I agree, they are much brighter!

I also put in the correct amber bulbs for the front parking lights/turn signals. Someone had clear bulbs in there.

Wish we could come up with an equivalent 24VDC version for the deuce and a half, as the headlights on those tend to be poor....

I did this about 6 months ago in my Oh-8. One of my originals were of the plastic design and the plastic was faded and somewhere between translucent and opaque. Major difference after new bulbs and adjustment. I could barely see to cross the road, with the old ones, at the GA Rally.
