Default Anyone use Delta Headlights?

Has anyone put in the Delta H4 headlights? I bought them and put them in. The passenger side is working good but the drivers side doesnt seem to have the same output and I need to have the highbeam plugged in or it is even less bright. Also the drivers side high beam is on but extremely dull all the time, causing my high beam dash light to always be partially on. When I turn the high beams on the passenger side makes the Delta brighter but the drivers side turns the stock high beam on. Keep in mind the passenger side high beam has never worked. Would this just be bad connections on the Delta on the driver side? Driving on the highway my high beam dash light while somewhat flicker. Any help? Anyone else have these lights or similar problems? thanks

Also what are any other better options for headlights/visibility at night? Anyway to retrofit a HID?

Sounds like you have a ground problem. Check your grounds and you will probably fix both the poor light output as well as the high beam indicator.

Have those Xenon bulbs in my car, had the same issue. Had to add the recommended relays in order for them to both light up with the same intensity.

Though my car was already wired with relays for the high and low

One relay per headlight, 2 relays per harness from Painless thru Summit.

I only did the low beams; high beams don't get used enough to worry about it. Toughest part was finding somewhere to mount/hide them.
