I saw the same improvement when I put the Hella 4-round grille in my
convertible.  Since I'd already bought the 80/100 H4's and 100w H3's at
Waterfest, I put them in anyways.  Of course it turned out that a) someone
had put a stupid HondaBoy :-) "Ion Blue" bulb in one box and b) touched the
other so that it exploded with a quite impressive arc and smoke pouring out
of the toasted inside of my headlight.

Moral:  Don't buy bulbs at shows unless they're shrinkwrapped.

(My friend Robbin has a Grand Cherokee, and is suitably impressed with the
difference in lighting between her car and mine, I may have to garner huge
points with her and do the same thing.....)
