Bosch DRL's

[Marriott@grolen.com]

Hi Kurt,

KW>Saw some cheap (49.99) Bosch DRL's

KW>Use a 55watt H3 bulb with parabolic reflectors. Model number was
KW>23350c (I think).

KW>Anyone have any comments on these?

Yup. I have them on my 4kq along with 9007 bulbs and relays. I'm running
100 W H3 ($4 at Wal-Mart for GE or some "Macho off-road" brand) and 45/65 9007.
Euro/etc. notwithstanding, my lights are quite
adequate, until I step to euro. If you swap to 9007, you can aim the regular
"reflectors" down
quite a bit. This gives you a nice low-beam pattern, with cutoff set to
~80 feet. The "high" 9007 then gives you medium-range lumens, and the
100 W pencil gives _long_ range. I'd challenge anyone to beat my pattern
and driveability for $60 ($50 lights with $10 rebate, $20 for relays,
fuses, etc.).

KW>Just, do ya like 'em or not ?

Yes. They're glass coated rather than chromed, and look like new inside
and outside even after three months of salt-torture. If you have a 4kq,
I have more info on a spiffy mounting setup.
