at 5200 Lumens per bulb I think no one needs that much light, in fact it is more dangerous as the light reflects back into your eyes and constricts your pupils, making the objects on the sides of the road less lit impossible to see, such as deer and other animals.

Hey,
I have a little question about that realy nice mod!
I am from germany and I have an bosch ballast.
Now I want to mod this one like yours.
But there is one thing I don't understand!
What is of the end of the new wire ?
I think a potentiometer, right?
But if it's right, which capacity is it?
I'm very lucky if somebody can help me!
Thx a lot!

For example, R1 = 2412 ohms, R2 = 2400 ohms, then Req = 1/(1/2412 + 1/2400) = 1/(4.145 e-4 + 4.166 e-4) = 1/(8.132 e-4) =
~1,202, ~1.2k ohms, with the pot at maximum 2,400 ohms value setting.

75 watt ballast mod
Creating a 75 watt (or better) Ballast to work with a DL50.
It sounds like someone has made this modification and it works. I am interested in (2) ballasts. Do you know where I could find someone to tweak (2) of these and what the cost would be?
I may know of a few other people that might also be interested.
Please reply to Mike at stollman@hotmail.com
Thanks
