All of my headlight wiring has turned a rather ugly color, and will all need to be re-run. Don't take Dan's warnings lightly. I have no idea how long the bulbs were in there, but still, scary. I'm amazed the car hadn't already caught fire.....

Private message me with the PO's name and I may be able to tell you the history on that. 90/100 H4 bulbs are sort of unusual in North America. I think I sell most of them.
I picked the 90 watt dipped beam filament due to tradeoffs between output and filament life.
Boy, 8 some volts at the bulb is sick. May as well tape some flashlights to the fenders.
