My KCs are 135w I think. When I was out on the beach they didnt look so bright , then I realized they were just shining off out into oblivion with nothing to shine on. They seemed to be about as bright as the oem headlights. With all lights on , off roads and headlights, if you cut off the headlights it wasnt very noticable and if you cut off the rack lights it wasnt very noticable. Im sure the wide open beach was a contributor to this. The KCs did light up the area off to the sides up front pretty good. Now I have Silver Star headlight bulbs so Im eager to see the comparison when I get to Uwharrie.
