Yes, I've had this happen. I'm not sure the 'boiling' is actually from being boiling water hot, or just bubbling vigorously from over-charge. Hook up a volt meter, and rev the car. If it goes over ab

My feeling is that in a spitfire the brightness isn't the main problem. Because of how low to the ground the lights are, they have a very low angle on the road, and the slightest change in slope obsc
