More 164 Light Bulbs

["Rich Lasner" <rlasner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With the string about 164 bulbs going on, I thought I'd add my experience
with a set of dicroic (ice blue) overwattage bulbs I purchased for my
headlights and fogs on my 164S. They throw a very crisp blue/white light
that looks and acts like the gas-discharge bulbs I see on new Benzs and
BMWs. I live on the side a very dark, tree-lined hill outside of San
Francisco, and the bulbs have helped night vision tremendously. I've also
checked the effect on on-coming drivers and haven't noticed a problem (no
flashed lights, etc.). Here's the info that AutoOptiks e-mailed me, FWIW:
