Always thought my headlights looked too bright on dips. Wasn't until this afternoon, pushing my year old grandson down the road and saw another RT. The dips looked dimmer. I pulled out my bulbs and there rated 75w
each. No wonder they looked like high-beam lamps. Checked the wiring and plugs and everything is OK. 3 H7 bulbs ordered

They would light up road signs in the daylight.
