	Let me get this straight.  You put 5watt halogen bulbs in the 
parking lamp (inboard of the headlamp?)  And, they seem almost as bright 
as the stock low beams?

	I took apart my headlights tonight to see what I can do about 
replacing them with anything else that might fit.  I am thinking about 
taking a splash off the lense, and making my own lens, and mounting a 
pair of aux. lights behind it.  Maybe a fog for low beam, and a 
driving light for high beam?  Or, I could use a pair of the Hella 
Auxiliary low beams for the low beams.
	What would be your choice of lights with only the constraint that
they both had to fit behind the 7" x 14"  space that the headlight
normally occupies?
	Thanks,
