Over time your head-light lenses will develop a hazy film which will reduce
your light output. I suggest pouring pure alcohol into your lenses, cover
the hole and shake. If you can get a large cotton swap or rag on a stick in
there to agitate the dirt free, would help too. Be careful not to scratch
the mirror.  The ultimate fix would be to make up a wiring harness with
relays to bypass the wimpy light switch on your dash. I burnt out 2 of these
already.
This makes a huge difference.

Here is a link to give you an idea how to do this:

Subject: Re: ebay plasma blue headlights

I have been wondering the same thing.

I have been planning on upgrading my Synchro's lighting for some time.
However, I am skeptical of these bulbs and their Performance claims. It
seems to good (and cheap) to be true. Plus I don't want to get caught up in
the blue lights/huge exhaust pipe fad that is sweeping the nations motoring
youth. I just want brighter, safer and mostly legal lighting.

I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences.
