[Tigers] Headlights

[Mark Rense]

Mike,
Consider these GE Nighthawk Sport H6024NHS 7" sealed beams, they put out
twice the light on low beam over the old incandescents and are only 35 watts
per lamp. They are low enough of a draw you can use them as DRL (daylight
running lamps) for additional visibility even running the generator. The
high beams are 65 watts and throw quite a nice pattern.

Be forewarned, the classic sealed beam will completely disappear in a couple
years, if ANYONE needs headlights you better buy some now and stash them
away.

Be very wary of buying old non-sealed lamp shells such as the P700 or
Hella/Cibie types, as the reflective coating inside decays rapidly and you
wind up loosing much of the light output. This is a fundamental problem with
this type of forward lighting, which is why the DOT outlawed them back in
the '50's. A sealed beam always gives you a fresh reflector with every new
lamp.

Other options? I'm thinking a more modern Hella (or equivalent) halogen  
might function better?
