Let's face it, old cars don't have the brightest headlights. The struggle is made worse when you share the road with modern cars with crazy-bright LED headlights. So if you want to upgrade the headlights in your older car, like my 1992 Volvo 240 wagon, what's the best way to go? Higher output halogen bulbs with relays, or modern LED bulbs? That's what I try to find out in this video. It's a question of not only which is brightest, but also which fits the personality of the car better?

The LED bulbs and resistors were graciously supplied by Auxito. If you'd like to try out any of their products, use the coupon code IDOCARSTUFF at checkout to save 15%. Link: https://www.auxito.com/discount/IDOCA...

The Flosser 90/100W Rally Halogen bulbs were purchased here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/131393625916
H4 Relay Harness from the same seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164256244318
(Note that you can also get 9004 versions of the same bulbs and relays from this seller if you have USA headlights on your Volvo 240.)
