Thanks for the link. I have a pair of Hella High Wattage H7 bulbs waiting to go in whenever another bulb blows, but from what I heard I have to watch the heat output. Goodness knows how long that bulb would last. I just hate the yellow light of standard bulbs.
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 checked the link to Amazon and the message said that this part is not compatible with my 2018 RS. Any ideas? I also want to replace the smaller light within the housing with an LED lamp. Any ideas there?
