        Eh? Where'd you read that interesting fact?

        SAE 9004/HB1 headlight bulbs are 65(high)/45(low) watts providing
        1200/700 lumens at nominal 12.8 volts.

        I wonder how Ford could have put these bulbs into millions of their
        vehicles, among them my '93 Mercury Villager, IF they don't exist??

        Been to a FLAPS lately?
