question about TA headlights... how many watts ???
alright, I have 85 TA , and to be honest with you , my headlights SUCK *** !!!
and no , it's not because they are old , actually they are brand new , adjusted right and still suck *** ... can't compare that to any other car that I've driven...
so , I checked out AutoOptiks and they have conversion kits for our cars.
here are my options..
#6054C - Autopal #6054 DOT Sealed Beam Conversion Kit (Pair), Uses H-4 Bulbs $50.00
#6054CE - Autopal #6054 ECE Sealed Beam Conversion Kit (Pair), Uses H-4 Bulbs $50.00
#6054CL - Autopal #6054 ECE w/CL Sealed Beam Conversion Kit (Pair), Uses H-4 Bulbs $60.00
#H4GH - Astra H4 90/100W Gold-Dichroic Capsule (Pair) $25.00
#H4U - Astra H4 55/60W Ultrawhite Capsule (Pair) $25.00
#H4UH - Astra H4 90/100W Ultrawhite Capsule (Pair) $25.00
#H4H - Astra H4 90/100W High Output Clear Capsule (Pair) $25.00
#H4HH - Astra H4 90/130W High Output Clear Capsule (Pair) $25.00
#H4AW - Philips H4 55/60W Allweather Capsule (Pair) $40.00
#H4BV - Philips H4 55/60W Bluevision Capsule (Pair) $30.00
#H4P - Philips #H4 55/60W Premium High Efficiency Capsule (Pair) $40.00
Philips #H4 Xenon HID Conversion Kit (Pair) $550.00
obviously I would like to get the HID kit , but that's just too expensive for me right now, SO , I'm going to go with the DOT sealed beam conversion kit , but I don't know what H4 bulbs to get...
so , the question is...
90/100W Gold-Dichroic Capsule
55/60W Ultrawhite Capsule
90/100W Ultrawhite Capsule
90/100W High Output Clear Capsule
90/130W High Output Clear Capsule
55/60W Allweather Capsule
55/60W Bluevision Capsule
???
thank you for any info that you can give me. I think I want to go with the highest wattage possible , so 90/130 , but will I encounter any problems with this ?
also , what is the output of the stock headlights ? (just so I can compare how much improvement I might get).

IIRC the wattage of our stock headlights is 35w for the low beams and 55w for the high beams.
I'm at work right now, or I would check for sure on the packaging I have from my old lights.
