Headlight Hype? or Facts

[Wanemardo@aol.com]

Ever wonder about the auto lighting claims in advertisements, like 55w=85w
output, and wonder how they do it?
Due to a night emergency and a friendly reminder by the local gendarme, I
installed an 80/100 H4 motorcycle bulb from the local chain auto parts store.
You wonder why this one, well it was the closet match to the 85/110w PIAA bulb
in the other Euro headlight.  Guess what.  There is no appreciable difference
between them, at least sitting inside looking out with my uncalibrated
eyeballs.  BTW, H4 M/C bulb was $8.00.
So, when I found this web page by:
Stern Lighting - Automotive lighting upgrades
@ < http://lighting.mbz.org/ >
I was interested to see what was there, am looking for replacement lenses for
my Euro's, rock hits, etc.
Take a look, new site with technical write-ups that make more sense than
marketing hype.  At least mother nature won't be as upset either.
See what's there am\nd make your own decision(s).
