They are stated to be about 3 times the brightness for the same wattage, and are plenty brite.

Actually when you need the light is in the daytime to flash the dude thats too close and the same start-up delay is in effect. I got bigger horns for that too.

In the old days when I ran a heavily modified Pinto I hooked the lights to the horn for easy attention. On the east coast, driving, that was way good on a few occasions...............

To improve on that with the old incandescent lamps I also added a relay so that the LOW beam came on with the HIGH beam to get better lighting. NEVER lost a filament and the combination was really good, FOR BACK IN THE DAY. They were TWICE AS BRIGHT, same color light though.

ENJOY WOODY

Too brite.......

Great. Thanks
