Optons for brighter headlights?
1969 LeMans - what is the best option for a brighter headlight. This one is going to be my "daily" driver. Thanks

Relay kit
Some people have used relay's to give the headlamps full voltage. Here is one example of a place that sells kits. You could save money by making your own setup but, (Mad) gives you a manual with there kit................

If you have not stepped up to a halogen bulb, there is a noticable improvement there. Proper headlight aim also makes a difference in usable field of view.

I think halogens would be the best bang for the buck. I'm almost debating putting some projector beams in my car, but that is a project best suited when the car is done.

I have halogens in my 69. It was a MAJOR improvement.

Run the headlamp ground wires back to the Alternator case.

Just having new bulbs makes a big difference, light bulbs lose brightness every year of their life

I'm using Halogen Headlamps in my '69 and it does make a big difference over
the original ones. Good headlight aiming is a must as well.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
