I have some nice Hella driving lights sitting in a box that will eventually find themselves on the 122. However, the reason they're not there just yet is the Cibie H4 headlights I'm using. I've re-wired them with 8 gauge wire and am running each headlight on its own relay. I'm running 90 watt low and 135 watt high beams and honestly don't need any more lighting. Suffice it to say I rarely out drive my headlights. 7" H4 headlights with strong bulbs will do as much for good lighting as anything if properly wired...

Upgrading wiring and running separate relays will do wonders for the strength of your headlights. One must keep in mind the draw of high wattage bulbs. I'm running a Ford 135 amp alternator and don't have a concern. I doubt the stock alternator or generator would keep up though...
