It might be a good baseline to show any differences with the stock bulbs and the upgraded wiring.

Now you are getting more power to the bulb. Pay close attention to the housing - Reggie 2002-07-28 19:56:16 (284 views)

I will, I think it'll be ok, I don't think 100w would be though, - Nick Gustas 2002-07-28 20:05:12 (222 views)

Yep - I have heard of some 100 watt issues - but they were not putting out 100w - Reggie 2002-07-29 16:03:13 (256 views)

I can do that tomorrow, I was only getting 12.88v at no load and 12.4 with one. so it'd be at least - Nick Gustas 2002-07-28 20:08:04 (205 views)

Good gawd. You are gonna burn out someone's eyes. :P We need a write up. :) - System_S4000 Le DOH! 2002-07-28 19:06:12 (238 views)

If I need to use them in anger I want all the power I can get :) - Nick Gustas 2002-07-28 19:24:41 (235 views)

Don't feel bad, you should see how I have my Euros ghetto rigged..... - System_S4000 Le DOH! 2002-07-28 19:41:36 (255 views)

Wow, I never would have guessed it would be that drastic a change. - singletrack 2002-07-28 18:51:20 (192 views)

My guess is that this effect would be more dramatic in the A4's (halogens)? - RKA 2002-07-28 18:25:09 (238 views)

Probably, especially if the car has aged or the bulbs aren't stock. I'll throw a link over there - Nick Gustas 2002-07-28 18:43:28 (248 views)
