Hi Dave,

I looked at the link and it was $70. I'm still hoping someone can measure
the actual current draw hi and low beams.

I'm using the Amazon brand "Hikari 2022" 32 watt set, which is OK for now.
Selling at Amazon now for $50. They claim to have special offers for upgrade to newer models after a year. I'll find out soon.

With time the newer chips offer more light per watt, but the newest have
premium prices.

Amarin had a nice post a few years ago with his comments about the different
generations of LEDs. I wonder if he's OK, since I haven't seen him here for a long time.

Did you say you didn't have that goofy steel baffle around the halogen lamp?
I had it in my original headlights in the 850 and 940 and removed them.
They just pull straight out, and press back in if you like less light.
You need to remove the lens to access.

Cheers, Bill
