    Default Front light upgrade

    Please give info if you have replaced your front lights, who did it and at what cost.

    Had it done after the first of the year at Excalibur in Sanford FL. Called ahead so Doug could make the set, gave him my paint code getting a perfect match. Paint was then clear coated. Arrived at appointment and he was ready for me, no waiting. After install everything was checked and double checked. I remember all connections were shrink wrapped or liquid moister protected. Excalibur has also purchased the headlight aiming equipment that sets the lights for max effect. Outstanding customer service.
    Their web site has many before and after pics.

    The update changed the front look so much that I removed the plastic shield. Night driving, very positive change. High beams...... you will be amazed

    On our Marathon we already had the Hot Rod LED lighting on the rear, now the front is updated.

    James Stallings at Extreme Graphics did my upgrade. What I like most is that both the low and high beams are Xenon high intensity discharge lights. I think most folks only have the low beams as HID. It makes a real difference. Here is a link to the upgrade: http://www.prevost-stuff.com/xtreme_..._LOC_Story.htm

    Doug also did mine last summer. Very worthwhile upgrade. The HID's are far brighter than the standard lights. On Doug's conversion, he makes all 4 lights come on when on high beam. Very impressive but don't get used much. The only comment between the two is that James' conversion has a hinged headlight assembly that you can swing out to get to while Doug's uses the original Prevost headlight housing and to access the bulbs you have to remove all 5 screws that hold the housing in place. (that is on my 99 XL with the old Ford single big headlamp)

    I talked with Doug this AM and he is planning on attending POG 10 in Austin.

    Larry,

    That looks like a new bus in your signature. Maybe it's old news. If not congratulations.
