[Spridgets] low light

Brightness would likely be the same, but there would be a lot less reach
down the road with the lower wattage light.  There is no substitute for
power, headlights included!

Some of a headlights brightness is based on the gas inside,  allowing a
higher burn temperature, not necessarily the wattage.

Try using a Xenon headlight on one side of the car, a conventional cheapy on
the other side.  They're simply different bulbs.  Won't show the same
brightness, despite one might have a higher wattage use.

Later. Paul A
