Concur. When I bought my Ur-q the PO had just fitted a new lh light - the
difference was marked, the rh 10 year old lens looked almost frosted in
comparison but it wasn't until last year that I discovered just how much
effect it had on light output. I _thought_ that there were 100/80w bulbs in
both lights and had always assumed that the lh light appeared brighter
because of the clearer lens.
Almost correct. The (dim) rh had a 100/80w, the (bright) lh had a 60/55w.
