I should be looking for 4x6 is that right?
If the ones I have are high beam and low beam, is that a problem?

Thank you for any advice and clarifications.

Hi Ross,

Yes, the DeLorean headlights are roughly 4 X 6, although the Sylvania SilverStars that I chose are listed as 100mm X 165mm. The outside headlights are low beam (H4656) and the inner ones are high beam (H4651). They have different connectors, 3 prongs on the low beam and 2 for the high beam, so the ones that you have need to be compatible. Also check the wattage.

I'm happy with my SilverStars. They are incandescent, but they are a plug and play upgrade.

Cheers,

My friend has the euro style 4x6's in his and boy those things are bright. There illegal here in the states but who cares! Also has them in his Jag aswell! I have to ask him what site he got them off. In my D, i have 6K hids with white halos that im installing soon.

+1 on the Sylvania Silverstars, a huge improvement over the OEM Sylvanias and no modification required. Of course a couple of Maglites taped to the front would probably be brighter than the OEM lights :giggle:

I bought mine from ebay. If you are using "aftermarket" semi sealed beams, you will most likely have to change out the wiring in the 3 prong connector. I have some that I bought from ebay with HIDs in them. They have an odd lighting pattern but they look cool. I have yet to wire the red halo leds though.
