I've thought a lot about new and brighter bulbs as well, because I can barely see at night anymore. The weird part is that I still, for some reason, get quite a few people flashing their brights at me. If that isn't perplexing I don't know what is. Maybe it's not my bulbs that are going... shrug

Sounds like maybe they are just aimed wrong, possibly into oncoming traffic's eyes. shrug

Xs SHO 1:
do u ever experience ur headlight switch assembly being too warm or somewhat warm in general?

what would cause this item to get too warm or hot?

Shuey,

Short answer: Too much resistance in the switch or its connections.

Explanation: As the switch contacts and connections age, they often build up corrosion that causes the point of physical contact to have an increased electrical resistance. As electrical current flows through the increased resistance, it generates heat and reduces the voltage that is available to the load portion of the circuit. As the connection runs hotter, it continues to degrade at a faster rate, getting hotter, and dropping more voltage across the junction until it finally burns out the switch or the connection.

Moral: If a switch or connection is running hot, it has a fault that will only get worse until it fails completely.
