...but still, I didn�t have the feeling of getting that much moore light out
of the 130/90 W H4 in my round lights but the extended heat made first one
and a while later the other lens cracking when I washed them when driving !
Never happened with upgraded 60/55 W and there I�ve had so many different
bulbs to choose from, white, blue, yellow, allweather (yellowish),  premium
plus.....
ALL LEGAL - the megawatt often come with a little "offroad/rally/competition
use only" tag and sometimes even requiers snipping of a little piece of
metal to actually fit !
