headlights - no replacement or modifications required.
Q: Do I need special headlight
bulbs with Brite Box?
A: NO. Brite Box works with your STOCK
headlight bulbs - no replacement or modifications
required.
Q: How does Brite Box affect bulb
life?
A: In millions of miles of on road
testing (with thousands of Brite Boxes), we have found
no negative effect on bulb life in vehicles that have
had Brite Box installed.
Q: If I want more light, can I
upgrade to higher output bulbs or headlights?
A: Only if you choose your bulbs
wisely. Bulbs that produce more light by simply putting
higher wattage filaments into the bulb can cause major
damage to your lighting system, even without a Brite Box
installed. The reason is that the higher wattage
filaments draw a lot more electrical current than the
stock bulbs. This in turn can overload switches, wiring
and / or headlight components. The only safe way to get
more light without potential overloads is to use high
tech bulbs that produce more light output with the same
electrical draw as stock bulbs. These bulbs accomplish
this with advanced bulb construction techniques. Some
bulbs that fit this criteria are "Sylvania Silverstar"
and "PIAA Platinum".
Q: How do brighter bulbs (without
Brite Box installed) compare to using a Brite Box with
standard bulbs?
A: There is really no comparison.
Honestly speaking the only advantage the brighter bulbs
have over the Brite Box setup will be a slightly
brighter low beam. The reason is that Brite Box does not
affect (either negatively or positively) low beam only
performance. Therefore the brighter bulbs will put out a
little more light on low beam. When the high beams are
engaged, the story changes. Yes, the brighter bulbs also
produce more high beam light than stock - BUT the beam
pattern does not cover the area directly in front of the
vehicle. With Brite Box, there is an even carpet of
light from directly in front of your vehicle to the
farthest reach of the high beams. What would you rather
have - A slightly brighter INFERIOR beam pattern
(without Brite Box), or an even carpet of light that
reaches from near to far. Remember, you can always
upgrade to high tech bulbs with a Brite Box to maximize
your headlight performance.
Q: I have a new body style Dodge
Ram pickup (2002 and up1500 model & 2003 and up Heavy
Duty). Why are there special Brite Box applications for
these vehicles?
A: This vehicle has one of the most
sophisticated headlight systems on the road. The system
is not only isolated from side to side, but is also self
diagnostic. For a complete overview on how this system
works, download this brief in .pdf format.
