    Better check with the DMV, there are limits to how much candlepower you can run.

    Cops have a thing about to much bright light. I use to run 100 watt driving lights on a sports car and was told over and over about how 60 watts was the max state law allowed. I ignored them. I had a thing about trying to turn night into day, especially when running high speed in deer country.

    I think modern day halogens are plenty bright. More than that could kill someone coming from the oposite direction, by blinding them. It may kill you as well if they swerve into you. Just a thought!

    The Mounties were always giving me shit about the Lucas lights in my '69 GTX. In true redneck fashion, I ignored them. I like to see too!
