If anybody doubts the need to do this headlight upgrade don't it is well
worth your while. The kit I purchased from Bus Depot was very easy to
comprehend and instructions very good. I can see again at night, just like a
regular vehicle. I want to upgrade to brighter headlights now :) Thanks
everyone for your help.

I use my headlights last night for the first time since the upgrade.
Wow!  I actually have headlights.  Headlights like an actual modern motor
vehicle.  High beams, low beams, both are nice and bright.
Whoever said this was a great upgrade was absolutely right.  It's kind of a
pain in the ass poking around up behind the fuse panel.  But, in retrospect,
it wasn't so bad.  Add me to the list of people who found this the best $99
and a few hours I've spent in while.  A side benefit is that I'm now on
slightly better terms with my fuse panel.
   My old lights were so dim, it was like a candle in the window.  I
sometimes had a hard time being sure they were even turned on.
