You're-a-peein' lights?

[enzeder@ix.netcom.com]

Well, I've read all the propaganda, and for the most part believe 
it, but was trying to explain to my Dad why I wanted to spend 20% of 
the purchase price of my car to get "brighter" lights, and he just 
asked me for numbers, ie: some objective data, and I couldn't give 
him any.  Does anyone have this data?  Has anyone used a light meter 
for example to actually measure how much brighter they are?  Dad's 
giving me the 65w is 65w line, and why would DOT-spec be any worse 
than E-spec, they're both government specifications.

Any ammo would be welcome.
