headlight bulbs

[NIck Miller]

I guess my previous msg missed the list,  but hir bulbs are it for good
halogens.  Silverstars (at least sylvania,  osrams are nice but europe
only)  aren't worth a crap,  they just change the hue not the throw or
lumens.

You need a good bright light between 3700k and 5000k to work for the human
eye.  Blue lights are just an illusion of better lighting...

More later if anyonec ares
