Wave,

I had Buzz headlights on my Royale and the were very good, maybe Peter can expand a little more. I can’t find them on the web, so I may have the name wrong.

Here’s a site to look at: Headlight Replacement

[needtocamp]

I have driven three versions of Prevost headlights. The original had the quad sealed beam rectangular headlights which were excellent. Shortly after we bought that coach Prevost introduced the Ford style big plastic rectangular headlights which a whole bunch of owners rushed to own by modifying their quad headlight coaches (along with changing the tail light stack). Almost universally those who had their coaches modified realized the change was a step backwards. But that style was carried into the early 2000s when the current style of small but intense lights was put on the coaches.

So I went from great headlights, to relatively lousy headlights (which are the style you likely have), to the current good headlights. But keep in mind I also changed from relatively good younger eyeballs to less good older eyeballs so I think as we age we either need to keep getting better and better headlights, or drive less at night. I’m driving less at night.

Several shops will replace your rectangular headlights with the current style which does a decent job. But I can tell you that while the replacement will be a noticeable improvement, it will do nothing to change the fact that seeing and driving at night will continue to be a problem.

We have gotten feedback that one of the shops that installs the new style headlights has some issues with the quality of their work so I am not suggesting any in particular. I do know they are available on ebay if you wish to make the conversion yourself.

I converted mine about 3 years ago and really liked them at first. The shop that converted mine the first time had them rigged where low beam would stay on when the lights were in high beam. Really bright, but I started haveing trouble with the low beams going on and off so the converter sent me a new ballast. Worked for a while then started the same thing. And another problem was the internal mounting structure was made out of a too light a metal and the head lamps would not stay aligned properly.

Well after fighting them for about a year and going completely out one night and haveing to drive with my fog lamps on, I contacted another converter and after looking at his work and how he did his, I had him redo my lights again.

No problem since I had it redone. I think one thing we found out that might have been part of the trouble was the first converter had my low beams running with the Prevost Day Time Running lights which steps down the voltage to the head lamps and according to Hela, you can not reduce the voltage to the ballast of the low beams without damaging them. So the only problem with using my high beams for the DTR lights is you can’t flash your lights for truckers and the like that they can pull back into your lane.

The white HID lights I now have are very bright.

I elected to go with the $60 solution first . Ordered Piaa headlights ( not off road) will see how that works. Getting to the bulb took a few minutes. Found a nice muddobber nest behind the light. Will do a photo report when done.

Muddobbers like to travel too

I had mine put in a year and a half ago and have been pretty pleased. Until this trip, that is. One bulb didn’t light when we left, but it’s lit now. We will see if I have the same problem Charles had….

I also have one blind that isn’t working. Coincidence?
