Poll on driving at night
#43

From 1990 - 1999 Newell used 4 headlights that were dual sets of the headlights used in the Ford half ton pickup in the late 1980's. Those were not great headlights and because at least in the early 1990's Newell did not use relays for the headlights, there was a significant amount of voltage loss before the power got to the headlights. Many of us added relays to increase the voltage (and thus the brightness). Additionally, at one time you could buy the glass headlights that Ford used in other countries that gave much more defined light with a sharper cutoff. Unfortunately, I don't know of any current source of the glass Ford headlights at this point. Some folks, like Richard, who are skilled at fiberglass work took out the Ford headlights and changed over to the small round headlights similar to those used by Newell starting with the 2000 model year. (Yes, the last 1999 had the new front end with the smiley face but we all know that Newell rarely changes things at the model year change.) Hope that helps a little Robert.
