>>Question: They are 100w bulbs yet they don't seem to produce any more
light
than the stock ones, is it just me or is something not letting them live
up
to their potential? (resistor or something?) <<

it's because they are blue. Blue is the spectrum of light that halogen
bulbs put out the least amount of. They can a bazillion watts, but they
stil won't be that bright... also, blue is the spectrum of light your
eyes see the worst, so once again... it's the fact that they are blue...
I had blue headlights once. Couldn't see worth a damn, and they looked
sh*tty too (IMHO).
