Lights / Lumens

[Mann Law <mannlaw@indy.net>]

	I don't know the science behind lights.  Lumens, whatever.  What 
I do know is this:  The lights on my 89 200tqw suck.  The "quad" setup on 
one of the family cars is better, to an extent.  When I rode in Eric's 
car, I was so impressed at the difference [over both of the above], that 
I ordered a set, not from Eric, but from Phillipe Sabot @ Metrix sp?.  
Something like $420 USD.  Haven't received them yet.

	Now, I understand why this can't be done on US roads, but if less 
[wattage] is indeed more, why does race car technology not follow this 
route?  I just keep thinking of Baja setups, etc.  I know the pencil 
beams, etc., are used, but, what the hell am I missing here?  Also, 
doesn't the "quad" setup on older Audi's require the sealed lights , ie., 
no interchanging of bulbs, but entire lights?  As for me, the $400 seemed 
cheap---I will finally see the road again:)  Isn't that a good thing?
