Default spark plugs and headlights

...sorry about the 2-part post

im using regular autolite plugs. if i go to a hotter burning plug, will it help with idle at low RPMs? anything else?

where can i get those super bright headlights. i have the 4 single sealed bulbs.

You can get Sylvania Silverstars from just about any auto parts store. Those are about the best you can expect to get off the shelf somewhere. If you want some really good Xenons you can get them on ebay motors. Only problem with that is half the brands on there are cheap and won't work very long. You can also get and HID conversion kit on ebay motors. That's gonna be a bit more expensive though. + you gotta do some modifying.... don't recommend it if you still have the factory warranty.

Those plugs should work. Make sure they are gapped correctly. I had used NGK and ACDelco with these trucks without a problem. Don't know too much about Autolite. Are they Platinum Autolites?

Stick with A/C Delco.

You have square lights? There are conversion kits starting at $22 at Advance auto parts. It is a plastic shell that fits in your existing holes without modification and they look the same as factory glass. The price does not include bulbs and I'm not sure about the harness.

your smoking something if you think silverstars are almost as bright as HIDs! "Real" HIDs are way brighter. I've had the Silverstars before and they are really good. But if I had the money for the HID conversion kit I'd be on that like white on rice.
