Holy cripes!  What are the ratings on these $85/pr bulbs?  You can't make
that much more light without drawing a bunch more power, which could
damage the wiring.  The Vision Plus's I put in make a good difference by
using a whiter light which apparently throws farther, at least it looks
like it does to me.  And people still don't flash me for running brights
at night, perhaps my aim is a little off, but it looks great with the
brights up.

But do tell more about these PIAA bulbs, if they through that much more
light I'm all for it!
