Cool Pics of new Luks clear 80w low beam/ 50w fogs!! Sealed Beam conversion

These are Luks true 80w clear OEM bulbs combined with 50w fogs. They have great light output and I would recommend them over the blue coated "xenon" bulbs on eBay. These pics were taken with a camera phone with the lows and fogs on traveling 50 MPH.

I've got the 100w bulbs in the highs also but they aren't that bright. Are the upgraded harnesses necessary? I ask because the drivers side bulbs seems brighter than the passenger side and the hi beams really don't seem that bright... The highs look dim yellow compared to the drivers side low beam. Does this mean they are not getting enough power?

100w bulbs are too much power for the stock headlight harness to handle safely....you're liable to melt the whole thing down.

mine seem fine from side to side.

the harness is like $40 i think...do some searching

But does the upgraded harness itself have any effect on light output?

Well, as long as there not melting I would assume they are OK. I think they're the original "Guide" sealed beams so that not helping I'm sure. How can I make sure they are getting enought voltage?
