Russ You may have brought up the real answer to the whole problem. This in addition to a prior response indicating a possible fault with the adjustment of properly aiming the lights. I felt reluctant to put in a 100 Watt replacement bulb thinking that the original wiring would not support the extra current. I seem to recall that when I first acquired this car I picked up a replacement headlight unit from a semi-local yard(why?) and noted that the original had rusty reflectors.The availability of a replacement from a second hand source is practically out of the question but I will be examining the existing setup to see if the reflective units are as they should be and if not that will be the focus of my efforts. Thanks for your input and I hope that all the good people on the forum remain as the resource for those of us that are not the sharpest tool in the shed.Thank you very much. Willie (Poor Soul)
