Hmmm....  valid if you are not moving, but the Rallye 2000 use a very deep
reflector, and from my knowlege the highest watt H2 bulb is 100w, 55w comes
with the light.....  The Rallye 2000 have been tested in the most adverse of
conditions, including many rally guys I've seen that have forgotten to take
the covers off (I won't start...).  I run the Rallye 2000 (3 yrs rallye 1
year 5ktq) with the 100w bulbs in the driving config myself and heat is
minimal........  Not a concern in those babies.....
