Tym,
 
I began using Cibie halogen headlights with 55 watt low beam and  100 watt 
high beam bulbs, back in the late 70s in my Alpine 5.  A few years  later, I 
bought my Tiger and used the same lamps.  I didn't improve the  wiring and 
it worked fine in both cars.  By the way, in those days only  Washington 
State and Pennsylvania allowed Halogen bulbs to be used  on-the-road, limited 
to a maximum 55 watts. Washington didn't allow  (rear) amber turn signal 
lenses until the early 80s!

I was reading an article in Hemmings Muscle Machines re replacing  
incandescent headlamps with halogens. 
The article also talks about utilizing  a wiring harness from Painless 
Wiring. Has anyone out there made this type of  switch. 
Maybe it's me getting older, but I would love to have brighter  headlamps 
on my Tiger. 


Thanks in advance
