Best in the World Headlamps

[davidbrady]

Folks,

A few years ago I installed a set of 90mm HID Xenon low and high beams on my LXi. The improvement is well worth the money. It's an easy upgrade using Susquehanna Motorsports modular mounting kit. Here are the links and part numbers:

For the ultimate upgrade Hella now offers their Bi-Xenon Hi/Lo beam headlamp. These use a solenoid operated shutter to create the cutoff for the low beam. It'd be sweet to have 4 high beams when crossing the Mojave!

There's no need for the light scattering plexiglass that covers the stock 120mm LXi head lamps. In fact, I think it'd be a detriment to oncoming drivers to run Xenon HID's with the plexiglass covers. The covers will surely create glare to other vehicles.

Please, resist the temptation to take off the black bumpers that define the look of the LXi. Some have chosen to discard the bumpers in favor of ghastly home fabricated aluminum riveted on panels concealing standard sealed beam DOT headlamps. Please resist working on your bumpers during happy hour! Love it or leave it!
