Headlight Bulb Replaced Again

[Grumpy Goat]

Having read some "other forum" posts on lens damage (melting), I was leery of the higher wattage options. The same wattage, higher lumen bulbs seem to have a 50% projected life of the basic bubs and cost more.

I have been using Sylvania SilverStar / Silverstar Ultras over the years, which while stating that they are 55W, they do put out more light than the standard H7 yellower bulbs. But their life is much shorter.

The Hellas I have presently are the first bulbs which state 100W on the package, hence my caution. When I do change them I will be sure to measure temperatures using my IR thermometer.
