looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

Better headlights
« on: January 06, 2012, 06:45:15 PM »
 I have a question about adding halogen headlights to my '80 pinto.  The stock headlights don't seem to be adequate compared those of modern cars. Seems to be a lot of halogen lights to choose from. Other than changing the headlights, do I need special wiring or relays or anything like that? I am sure some one has done that. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance....... .........John :) :)

i had a glass guy cut my old bulbs out and put in HID bulbs with power box and they are brighter then my wifes 2007 explorer.
just a thought for you, or you can get the plastic headlights and put in what ever style bulb you want.
 
never really messed with relays or re wiring.
 
just my 2 cents.

Anything more than stock style headlights could cause wiring issues. Old wire doesn't like a lot of amperage run thru it. You could install some of the aftermarket HID lights with a seperate harness. I have always used halogen lights without any issues at all.

I upgraded to halogen lights on my two '79 Lincolns without a problem.  I think it would be an entirely different issue if you wanted to go HID.  Halogens should be a direct swap.

Update the wiring harness to allow the use of the higher wattage and amperage systems...I know that the Datsun 240Z guys change the harness, our fuse boxes are of a similar type and might not hold up....
