I also plan to upgrade my bulbs to the Eiko part Bob had recommended to me a while back. I used them before and they were much brighter than the standard 1157LL's, but they burnt out when my voltage regulator failed.

Easy enough to make a direct comparison;

Put the reflector on one light and not the other. Go into a darkened garage and turn the lights on. You should be able to compare them apples to apples.

A digital camera will probably be able to pick up the difference, at least in a darkened garage. I'm not so sure about in the light of day though.


Good idea DD,

Phill
