Re: Xenon bulbs / U.S. spec lights

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

I have a set of the Phillips "blue" H4 lenses, but I have not gotten
around to trying them.

I am still not quite satisfied with the light ouput (of the "euro"
lights) (does not seem bright enough with stock wiring and 55/60 H4) - I
am considering a relay settup.

All the U.S Scirocco stock lenses are sealed beam.

The U.S. backing plates are very different than the one for the "big"
euro lights. (I know, I did the swap on my '82).
