I�m kind of a freak when it comes to lighting because of working late and
driving through moosecountry with little or no traffic and have checked a
lot of different bulbs and for me it�s different from time to time !
In the winter whith all the snow reflecting the light I prefere to use the
bluecoated H4 (General Electric Superblue/Euroblue) together with matching
H1/H3 bulbs in the floodlights OR yellowish ( Philips Allweather or Osram
Gold) all around but in the summer I like Philips Premium or GE Megalight
both said to put out 40 - 60 % more light than regular 60/55 W bulbs -
probably similar to the Silverstar ??.
I�ve tried all up to 190/130 W H4 but don�t like to use them since they have
a tendency to ruin your lights(reflector and glass turns yellow) because of
the heat that builds up inside. I�ve even got the wiring melted on a Golf.
What ʹm getting at here is that what suit one time might not do so another
and we�re all indipendantly sensitive to reflexes from roadsigns and other
things so it�s best to try!
The thing that IS worth investing in whatever bulbs you�re using is two
relays and some heavy wire to boost the power to the light!
You may be able to get a couple of extra volts and that�ll make any bulb
brighter ( and lightpattern more accurate). The only drawback is that it
might shorten the lifespan of the bulbs a bit.
How to hook up ?
This is one site to get info on, there are probably moore !
