PN for brighter taillight blubs??

Iron Indian · 02-02-2008, 04:09 AM

This info used to be posted on the Canada Club GP but its gone. There was info for bright blubs inside and out, one was tail light blubs (good for guys with darker tails). Anyone have this info?

Thanks

Shawn, I dont have an answer for you, but I am going to watch this thread because we had a discussion going on about the affect of tinted tails on light output, particularly during the day.

i'm sure there must be some brighter bulbs, but with brighter comes more heat... i'm sure there's a fine line in there that might be too warm

though i remebmer seeing somewhere 55W backup lights.....

Bringing up the heat is a good point. I wonder if there is anyway to determine where the cut off point would be other than real world experimentation?

i suppose if we found a chemist that was familiar with the specifications of the plastic used in the tail lights....

but, i suppose there is a decent amount of space in the light, so it shouldnd be THAT sensitive

would a small vent hole help it also? In a place that wouldn't let in water of course

I was thinking about that earlier. One on top or over the top of the bulb would be good, but then, of course, you have the possibility of water intrusion. You could put one on the bottom but , of course, heat rises so it probably wouldnt be all that effective.

You would be better off with something that gave you a little air flow I would think.

LED anyone?

Would they be bright enough to deal with the NightShade during the daytime?
