Halogen Head Lights/alternator change
I just installed some Sylvania Silverstars in my pickup and love them to death. I see that they make some sealed beam versions, with similar electrical post connections as those on my 66 mustang. I currently am running Wagner Halogens and am disapointed with the light output. What I am wondering is if anyone out there has gone with this sort of high output halogen? If so what, and what part number?
I am not really interested in changing my wiring over so that I can run HID, nor can I really afford/need that kind of light.
Also, I am still suffering along with my stock for alternator (60amp?), which pulses a bit at idle. I am looking to go to an internally regulated single wire alternator, probably from the GM camp because of affordability and versatility. Has anyone other there do\ne a single wire conversion? I hear you just run that one wire to the starter siloniod and totally bypass the external voltage regulator. Another fellow told me that 90-100 amp alt. would be fine, and that I might consider splincing a large fuse in the the system, because when these internal jobbies go out they tend to blow up things.
I know this is a lot of seperate questions in a single post but I am currently tackling a lot of little things at once.
Thanks and late Merry Christmas to all,
Aaron
