Hi Jeff,

	Sorry this is so late and an old thread; but, FWIW my 80/100 Korean
bulbs w/relays and harness mounted to the + jump start terminal under the hood
of my '87 5kCSQ have been in there for 4 years now. That only works out to
about 32k miles, but in my "next to worthless" DOT lamps they are a small
improvement. When/if these burn out I'll try something a lil' "hotter".

						Happy motoring,

								Shef
