        I have the ecodes on my van  with 80/100 watt bulbs and the FOCUS
lexan covers for 3 ~ 4 years now.  No  melting no distortion and absolutely
the best lighting for a Vanagon.  I  can see and be seen on the darkest of
nights.  Only the occasional wink  from an oncomer when I forget to dim.

get  no one brighting me at all.=A0 Do not run plastic covers on the
lights or  they will not be happy due to over heating.=A0 I run 55 /
100s in mine so  in town and low speed where I use the high beams the most
they are normal  and a little extra umph on the highway with the 100W high
beams and the  extra wind to cool them off.<<<<
