Thanks Rick! Good points. This is all new to me, so advice is much appreciated.
Now that I have the H4 kit, I can try various wattage bulbs and find the wattage that works best for me and oncoming traffic. The kit I bought came with the 90/100 and you're right, that may be over kill. I have no prior experience with headlights & their attributes.
With regard to my headlight buckets, (perhaps I'm using the bucket word incorrectly. Mine are metal, and these are the shape of a 'Cone Head' like Dan Akroyd in Saturday Night) the headlight/sealed-beam fits into these. So I guess I won't have a melting issue. Cutting vents in the top & bottom of the buckets could help with overheating. Do you still think that moisture would still become a problem. The headlights have rubber seals where the bulb enters the lens/reflector unit and I wasn't going to drill holes in this component.
Thanks, Arthur
