The 84 uses regular 7" round headlights. There are a lot of options out
there and most of the standard halogen designs work very well. Improving the
power path from the alternator to the switch or using relays will do a world
of good. Also update the ground connections near the lights instead of the
original wiring to that grounding star.

Subject: Headlight upgrade?

Got an '84. Are the Hella lenses that Gowesty sells the only option for a
light upgrade? Saw a suggestion for an E-Code housing but it seemed to be
only slightly cheaper than the full gowesty setup and it comes with the risk
of not being completely legal.

Seems like there would be something else out there for a little less money.
Any thoughts? Is this upgrade worth $200?
