Plus-50 is a style of H4 lights that are suppose to be slightly brighter than stockos or something liek that

They'd be Narva Plus-50s. They also have Plus-30s. They are just a slightly different sort of bulb that is supposed to be better.

I put a set of Plus 50 in my Forester and recommend them. Give a brighter and seem slightly more projected beam. An easy upgrade.;)

On the subject of headlights... I noticed tonight that when I was winding the windows up or down the headlights dimmed noticeably. And when the window was all the way up it was worse (obviously, since the motor is straining then).

Does this indicate a dodgy battery? or alternator? Surely a small motor for winding windows up and down shouldn't draw that much current...
