These are especially applicable to cars with smallish taillamp lenses (TR2/3, Spitfir; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00122.html (8,025 bytes)
2. Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Roland Dudley <cobra@cdc.hp.com>; Date: Thu, 6 Jan 94 15:27:57 PST; Are these one- or two-filament lamps or both? I've had more than one person tell me my brake lights weren't working when I knew damn well they were. They're just hard to see in the sunlight.

Like I said: "halogen replacements for type 1156 double filament bulbs". This is specifically a two-filament bulb.

Perhaps you meant the 1157 (21/5). My first thought was that these bulbs and auto trans will not mix. Holding the brake at long li; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00130.html (8,605 bytes)

Bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Jody Levine <jody.p.levine@hydro.on.ca>; Date: Fri, 7 Jan 1994 10:13:57 -0500; I don't know about your car, but the main problem with my TR7's taillights is the chrome coating on the reflector. Over the years it has come away from the plastic backing, either giving the reflect; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00135.html (8,571 bytes)

Re: Bright taillights (score: 1): Author: jjoy@akamai.sps.mot.com (Jennifer Joy); Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 11:15:19 CST; I wrote this summary up for the volvo list and it is very generic, so I hope it might be of some use. It covers troubleshooting lights, how to make them brighter, and such. There are two possible an; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00140.html (11,681 bytes)
8. Re: Bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Roland Dudley <cobra@cdc.hp.com>; Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 10:15:32 PST; You mean your cars actually have reflectors inside the tail lights? What a clever idea! I should pass this suggestion along to AC. Aluminum duct tape (sticky on one side) is available at hardware st; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00141.html (8,524 bytes)
9. Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Roland Dudley <cobra@cdc.hp.com>; Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 11:23:39 PST; Just out of curiosity, how efficient are halogen bulbs? If a higher percentage of the energy is converted to light then higher wattage doesn't necessarily mean hotter bulb (as in the case for fluore; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00146.html (8,314 bytes)

Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: mburdick@unmc.edu (Mike Burdick); Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 14:33:01 CST; Not exactly data but: For cars with electrical systems designed for halogen headlights, there are usually warnings NOT to use conventional bulbs as replacements.

Seems to me this is getting all messed up, because of comparing apples and oranges.

12. Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Roland Dudley <cobra@cdc.hp.com>; Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 14:13:43 PST; Okay, I'll buy the above. Isn't the power rating (wattage) of a light (whether incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, or whatever) the power it consumes? So a 40w fluorescent light is brighter than a 4; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00157.html (8,725 bytes)

Yes, that's what I meant to say though it may not have been very clear. Two 20 w fluorescents together provide more light than a single 40 w incandescent, while consumin; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00159.html (11,393 bytes)
14. Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: pwv@tc.fluke.COM (Pat Vilbrandt); Date: Fri, 7 Jan 94 15:29:28 PST; You are correct in your reasoning. The reason this holds is because only an infinitesimal amount of the electrical energy is converted to light, even for a flourescent lamp.

Re: bright taillights (score: 1): Author: Dave Van Horn <davevh@microsoft.com>; Date: Sun, 9 Jan 94 20:03:15 TZ; Except, of course, that you won't find any regular bulbs running that same filament temperature because they wouldn't last very long, so they don't make them.
