    He says in his description the bulbs are 65/55 and put out 90 and 100 watts. Sounds as if he's hyping the description to make it sound better. 65/55 bulbs put out just that, 65 watts high beam and 55 watts low beam which, incidentally, is maximum allowed for highway use in the U.S. Anything higher is only legal for off-road use. That's not to say that people don't use the brighter ones on the road! :grinyes:

    If you are just looking to improve your headlight's performance, I would suggest installing some relays and new halogen bulbs.

    There was an article in Hot Rod a while back about ways to rewire the headlights so that they get the full voltage off of the lead... I'll see if I can dig it up.

    I know the article in Hot Rod looked like it was taken from that web site.  Might of referenced them too.

    I have a set of these for my Challenger, they wont fit in.  The story is that I wanted to upgrade so i could use bulbs instead of sealed beams.  When I got the lights I noticed they have a parking light built into it and its housing is sticking out in the back of the light so that makes it impossible to insert in the light adjusting cups. So this upgrade was cancelled on my car.
