Xenon retrofit in UrS6?

[Robert Myers]

The "xenon bulbs" you purchased are not - repeat - NOT xenon discharge 
lamps!  They are simply xenon filled ordinary tungsten halogen light 
bulbs.  They are, of course, an improvement over ordinary DOT lights but 
they are nowhere near what you would see with xenon gas discharge lights.
