Some manufacturers of automotive lighting, such as Cibie, Hella, IPF, etc, manufacture a replacement headlamp with a replaceable halogen globe, which can be increased in wattage, for certain vehicles.

These headlamp conversions upgrade the vehicle's standard lighting system and are of great benefit for any kind of night driving. If high-powered auxiliary driving lights are fitted, headlamp conversions should also be fitted to eliminate or minimise the performance difference between high and low beams.

Headlamp conversions are mainly available for vehicles up to current models, but certainly only for a minimum number of makes and models. Always consult an auto electrician about the use of higher wattage globes to ensure electrical and lighting failures do not occur.

It is also recommended that a protective transparent covering, such as Liteskins, be fitted to eliminate damage from stones. These are far more effective than perspex covers and are extremely cost effective.
