[s-cars] headlight bulbs

[LL - NY]

Bob,

Have you ever tried the Toshiba HIR 9011 bulbs in the high beams(
www.powerbulbs.com) ?  Seriously stupid amounts of well placed light,
however, the color temp is probably not up to your cosmetic needs. Any
incandescents that have a color temp remotely close to 5K K are probably all
tinted, since an incandescent glow that'll last is really just not all that
hot. End result is less light, and less time to react to Bambi.
