Options for upgrading headlights on '89 Accord?

May 18, 2008 6 Replies

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,


without breaking the law?

legally, light output is restricted so you're not a hazard to other road users. all aftermarket lighting kits really do is change the color of the light, not the level of output.

My recommended method would be to go buy a 2008 Accord.

That thing is 20 years old, fer chrissakes. Get something better.

dan's usual sunday rant! why dan? the backbone of this group is people /wanting/ to keep older cars on the road - any fool can simply buy a new car. otherwise this group would be alt.autos.justbuyanotherone

Clue: newer != better

Not always, but often. In this case (headlights), it's certain.

Buy Philips BlueVision / CrystalVision H6054's
