Searching the internet I see things offered for newer, and even older Broncos but the 80's seem to be in a dead zone for some reason.

By the way, does my 88 Bronco use 9007 or 9004?

If you're going to use them at least have the decency to adjust them on a slight down angle. You'll still get the same range without shining it in everyone else face.

P.S.: They're not stupid. They've helped me be able to see a lot better than I could before, and I still can't see that well. I guess I'm used to my Cougar, with bad adjusting to the headlights and 55wt foglights that were on all the time.
There are also the newer Chevy trucks which have been blinding me, and they're most likely set by stock. I've probably had 6+ instances in the past month where I thought that a Chevy pickup had its brights on, when it didn't. I even flashed one just to be flashed back because I thought his brights were on they were so blinding.

Yeah, I changed the stupid bit after i posted. it was a bit much. I didn't mean to offend anyone.P.S.: They're not stupid.

I've only seen one or two people with them adjusted so they didn't blind everyone else on the road. They're a great idea, but people, even some auto shops, adjust them straight on and you really don't need to.
Adjusting them a couple of degrees downward makes the roads a lot safer for everyone. I was always taught, with standard lights, to point the car at a wall about 10-20 ft away and adjust so the top part of the main beam is more or less straight on. That way I don't blind people as much and can still see well. I really only need to see the road and what's ahead anyway, and the outer ring of light cast from them does a pretty good job of illuminating anything above car height. Aiming them straight on you're just shining a whole lot of the light up in the air where it's wasted anyway.

I used a plow kit and a relay to do it. that way I can always revert to the factory wiring if necessary, I <' /> back up systems There is also a diagram at BigBroncos.com showing a different way to do it.
So if it helps standard lights, think what it would do for high tech lamps.
Good luck,
