headlight relaying tech article

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I just bought them from a chain called Oreillys
  I would imagine they could
be gotten from any FLAPS that sells Wagner bits and pieces
  IIRC, they are
merely a higher wattage Halogen
  If not, they may have a more exotic gas, I
am not sure
  They are definitely bighter than stock so I know that they are
a higher wattage, and I was more than well pleased for the 30.00 I shelled
out for a pair
  The other thing I recommend doing this if you go that route
is to get some contact cleaner on all the connection points, that alone will
make a noticiable difference.  It works especially well on guage cluster
lighting because of the low wattages
  There is a company called McKay that
makes an excellent contact cleaner that leaves a little bit of an oily
residue behind that acts as an insulator
  I used the stuff years ago on a
fuseblock that suffered at the penis of a stray cat!  (little SOB sprayed my
fuseblock, yes I left the windows down
)  The metal contacts in the
fuseblock is cheap and nasty, and once it begins to corrode, it really goes!
My rear wiper kept, not working
  replaced the fuse, what is that wretched
stink?!

What are these Wagner Brite Lights? Is there a website? How much, what do
they look like? Cullen is a good guy, just swamped I think. You can find him
on www.vintagewatercooleds.com <http://www.vintagewatercooleds.com>  where
it's a little less busy. Also, his products have gotten rave reviews, so I
wouldn't worry about buying stuff from him. One downside is he often does
preorders.

The fella that did write-ups for VWVortex did an article on this... HID set-
up, although he said that they are no longer available... :-( However,
allegedly 'Cullen' on Vortex can get you a set of HIDs for the Mk1... I, and
I see that some others have had difficulty in contacting him, so bear that
in
mind...

Beyond that, I have had experience with Wagners' Brite Light. It is a higher
wattage Halogen, and I have had very good results, although I definately
would
not mind other options, esp. if they were as cheap as the Wagners... ;-)
