Anyone know if they are still doing the PFF discount? A couple of buddies love my headlights and want to buy some.

Give SMS a call at 610-944-3233 and ask for Will. They might still honor the discount. They are open until 7:00pm.

For completeness (and intellectual honesty), I've added the following information originally posted in another thread:


Aarrrggghhh!!! With all the discussion concerning keeping the low beams illuminated when the high beams are on, I finally realized that it can be done without a diode or relay at all ... using just a single wire jumper! You could even insert a simple SPST switch in the jumper if you wanted to be able to switch between standard "two light" high beam mode and "four light" high beam mode.



Please remember that all the discussion concerning the adequacy of the stock Fiero headlight circuitry still applies. I don't think that the stock headlight switch will survive the current demands of four 65 watt H9 bulbs ... at least not for very long. Adding a relay would still be a better solution, IMHO.

Great info Marvin, and I for one found it very informative and useful since I seriously considered doing the four light conversion for high beams using a relay. However after getting the Hella lights installed I found that my light output with the Hella low beams improved VASTLY. And the high beams are even better than the stock high beams, so I decided to leave well enough alone and not rewire the lights for all four to light up with the high beams on.

My recommendation to anyone doing the conversion is to check the output with the Hella Lights compared to the stadard H4 lights before diving into it.

Absolutely!

But, for reasons I don't quite understand, some people are simply determined to have all four headlights blazing at once. My intent was solely to show how it can be done without blazing wires, too.
