Be careful replacing the bulbs in the front park/turn socket, the are also the DRL bulbs.
Hot bulbs in these housings running all the time may cause extra gas to be emitted from the bulb socket, and it will cloud up the lens.
You guys have no idea how much testing was done on these bulbs to make sure there was no excessive gas emission from the plastic socket. (Plastic bleeds off gas when hot.)
Just a caution.

Also, 100 watts in the front headlamps are pushing the limit. Headlamps are protected by two 10 amp fuses; therefore, as the generator output fluctuates, the amperage fluctuates. Ever notice how your lights will dim for a split second when applying brakes. The PCM controls the output and to save on generator, the PCM will take a second or less to regulate voltage. On a cold night with all the accessories on, including all the lights, then the brake lights go on, the generator could drop to less than 10 volts for a split second.
Just a thought...

I won't mention the lexan covers, not sure what their melting point would be.
