New bulbs

I import my bulbs from Japan. I use MTEC, available at YellowHat and Autobacs over there.

I've been looking into the H9/H11 swap. Another 10 watts couldn't be that bad for the wiring, so I might spring for that next time one burns out -- or I get sick of them.

I sure hope they aren't these:

Wattage [draw]: 55
Wattage [output]: 100



With that snazzy blue coating, they manage to put out more than they draw!

No wonder you can't see at night. I think this is what you're getting in reality:

Wattage [draw]: 55
Wattage [output]: 30

Nah, I've been all over those before when I had my SVT Focus. I learned from my sister melting her plug somehow and me having to splice-in new connectors. Mine are actually authentic and made IN Japan -- just like I couild buy over there. I'd get some pictures of the bulbs -- but they are in the car, lol.

I'm soon to get some "normal" H9 bulbs and see what happens. I do, however, have yellow bulbs in the fog location.
