Many places now consider 100W as "off-road" lights.

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
