I don't know... I am also thinking about buying some of those crazy IPF bulbs... the IPF 80/110's look teeeempting.. but then why not go with the 100/170's? Maybe making sure they are aimed low enough would be OK...

...because that's twice the wattage I have right now and to me what I have is enough...but that's just me ;)

On the Switzerland run Martin mentioned that my left head light was out on the drive up Boulder canyon. While we were airing down we checked it and it was very dim. The lights have never been very bright and the light they put out was very yellow. Anyhow last Thursday evening on my way home the drivers side light went dark. Twice in a couple of weeks was all I needed to put my order in for some Roundeyes. They arrived today and I put them on earlier this evening.

WOW - I am very pleased with the improvement. :D

The improvement is well worth the premium price. I'm interested in hearing how the harness upgrade improves Subzali's situation when he gets it installed.

My old boss Gary (Ol' Grateful) went from old yellow sealed beams to Roundeyes with the IPF harness upgrade:

Whats the best way to re-adjust your headlights? After going to SOA and making lots of other changes I think they're wall-eyed and way high. Is there a set distance I should be from say a garage door, and then if so, where should the lights be aimed for proper alignment?
