Bob,

I installed relays and brighter lamps in my '86 Westy's headlamps. The inner
square lamps are the same, USA or Euro, and the 100's do throw a mean beam.
Unsafe for street driving, though.
The outer rectangulars, even with the brighter lamps, were still useless to
see with, and pretty good at blinding oncoming traffic.
I gave up, and not wanting to do conversion work other than wiring up new
connectors, brought a pair of Euro headlights from Fast Forward Automotive
Inc. Best lighting $$ I've ever spent! Got very useful low beams and
excellent high beams too. I will put the inners on their won switch one of
these days, so I can use the brights in town.

They make it possible to install 80/100 outer bulbss and 100w high beam
bulbs, without burning up the headlight switch, so they put out quite a bit
more light. They do NOT improve the poor image/light pattern these lights
have by their design. The "fetal-MRI-image" gets brighter on low beam. Being
able to use the 100w highs is the biggest improvement, I think.

I have been driving in two lane roads a lot at night just north of Columbus
and am noticing an extreme lack of lighting.  I notice it really bad with a
modern vehicle bearing down on me with their nice bright headlights.  Does
the headlight relay kit make a huge difference or is it just little bit more
illumination?

Thanks,

Kurt
