Rense & Tigers,
To through yet another log onto the fire, I put my Original bulbs in a
box (if I ever enter a Concour) and used a set of Hella "H4" headlamps,
with Xenon Bulbs (slight lamp base touch-up). Flatter face, and
excellent light.
My $0.02 (0.01 Pounds). And Owain: Yes, the Xenon bulbs are brighter.
Anything is brighter than originals, whose maximum output is dim and dismal.
