What about new, regular wattage incandescents. Is part of the dimness related to the 30+ year old nature of the bulbs?

The other night I had just the parking lights and interior lights turned on... with my car parked in my outdoor shop on a dark night and I was looking at that thing and it looked like a UFO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/very_first_smiley[1].gif)

Man I love new Hella lenses and incadescent light. No LED's for me. Color temperature is not warm enough.

For some reason every year the lights just get dimmer(at least since I rounded 40).
I fixed dim gauges real good, drilled new holes where needed and installed mini halogens(+lgr ga. wire). At night oncoming traffic can count my liver spots.
