Saw your post about upgrading headlights to "Hella Z Beams with 100/55 watt H4 bulbs."

Would appreciate it if you could provide the Hella part numbers as am not having much luck searching for those.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

I got mine from Summit Racing. You can order additional H4 bulbs at the same time. Not terribly hard to install. The high beam was great and the low beam was definitely sharper even though that is the same wattage as stock. I actually had the 55/80 watt bulbs.

Jeff, I would put the year and make in etc. in Summits site and see what comes up. I found the receipt. Here is what I ordered for my 94 HLA-003427811 and I also ordered a few H4 Bulbs, HLA-H4-100-80WTB and also HLA-H4100-55WTB

these will fit, however I moved to LED. I had a set of Autopal (Hella knockoffs) I used for years. those now reside in my Father-in-law's 84

Guys,

Many thanks for your help and assistance on the Hella Headlamps.

BTW, if you have Summit warehouse close by and shop in person, you can get a Military Discount.

The Z beams were transplanted from my 89 many years ago when I got the 90 Z.
Can't remember where I got them? They came with 55/60 watt H4 bulbs installed.
The 55/100 watt bulbs were ordered separately. Anything beyond 100 watt hi beams would be pushing the limits on the stock wiring? Ask Big John how he likes being in front of me in his Callaway LM ZR-1 when the high beams are on 😀 (that's the only thing on my car he can't easily outrun!) 😀
