Over time your head-light lenses will develop a hazy film which will reduce your light output. I suggest pouring pure alcohol into your lenses, cover the hole and shake. If you can get a large cotton swap or rag on a stick in there to agitate the dirt free, would help too. Be careful not to scratch the mirror. The ultimate fix would be to make up a wiring harness with relays to bypass the wimpy light switch on your dash. I burnt out 2 of these already. This makes a huge difference.

Here is a link to give you an idea how to do this: http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/how_to/relays/ Ken Madsen 87GL - upgraded headlight wiring/relays - S/A lights.

I have been wondering the same thing.

I have been planning on upgrading my Synchro's lighting for some time. However, I am skeptical of these bulbs and their Performance claims. It seems to good (and cheap) to be true. Plus I don't want to get caught up in the blue lights/huge exhaust pipe fad that is sweeping the nations motoring youth. I just want brighter, safer and mostly legal lighting.

I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences.
