    Dear Keith,
    I read your Waterlogged article and I have a solution to your H4 Candle predicament.I have a 1980 M-B 280SL with 5 3/4 ” headlights .The halogens were candles in the dark. I bought online AUXITO 2024 H4 LED bulbs which are 50watt LEDs. They give 6500k lighting Many times brighter than 55 /60 watt halogens. Problem solved . Cost is about $60-.They plug in as normal bulbs. Hope this helps you.
