Interesting mod, looks like good work.
General Electric, in about 3 weeks, is introducing a new line of headlamp
bulbs to be called "Night Hawk". Their engineers are making the rather
lofty claim that these new bulbs will be the world's best. They're
positioning them in the market opposite Sylvania SilverStar and Wagner
TruView, *BUT*, unlike those two products, the GE items will use CLEAR
glass, without any kind of performance-reducing tint. I'm due to receive
some samples to test in about 2 weeks and will discuss my findings here.
Regardless of how the new GE product works out, with this mod you can now
use the Sylvania (Xtravision) 9006 or Philips/Narva (RangePower) 9005 and
9006 high-efficiency bulbs...and if you want significantly more high beam
punch, you can use HIR1 (9011) bulbs in place of 9005.
