Good point, Chris.  If the lights are unknowingly "dimmed" then 
nothing will help.  But I disagree with your view of the stock 
lighting.  Those steenking little 1.2 watt bulbs just don't cut 
it.  Replacing them with 2 watt bulbs makes a BIG difference.  Three 
watt bulbs would probably be better if they even exist.

BTW, does anyone have a suggestion where the 2 watt bulbs can be 
located.  Scott Mockry has them listed on his on-line catalog but 
they are noted as not available.
