As you already know I did the same as you but it was my high beam fuses that went out. I do not understand why your low beams went out. the 10 amp fuses should work there. If you do the math you will see why the 15s won't work on the high beam circuit. Each high beam fuse is now supporting 200 watts. Wires may be too small but I have seen no overheating....yet ! Drove back from Watkins Glen, 5 hours, with them on all the time. Your findings on the low beams is the same as mine. Not much difference than the std. 55 w lows. Most of this is related to the crappy lens. Like I said before this is a cheap mans way out. Best solution to this problem is true E-code lamps at a gazillion $. Well, there is the possibility of going to the old grille with two round lamps or trying to install the cheaper 4" x 7" H-4 Hella lenses from <A HREF="http://catalog.com/susq/">Susquehanna MotorSports.</A> Cheers Frank Condelli Almonte, Ontario, Canada <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm">BusFusion</A> a VW Camper camping event, Almonte, ON, June 12 ~ 15, 2003 '87 Westy & Lionel Trains Member: <A HREF="http://www.vanagon.com/">Vanagon List</A>, <A HREF="http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/">LiMBO</A>, <A HREF="http://www.westfalia.qc.ca/">IWCCC</A> & Capital City VW Club Vanagon/Vanagon Westfalia Service in the Ottawa Valley <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Mufflers</A> <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/busindex.html">Frank Condelli & Associates</A> or http://frankcondelli.com
