Oh it is such fun! It's practically a festival of pain. A boastful young man who is a mechanic said "No problemo. Un minuto y dame 50 pesos!"
Yeah he got my four dollars in pesos. It must not have been a problem because after 25 (I timed them) minutes he approached me, took the banknote, said "Thank you" very politely then left.
The actual physical difference, you nailed it. But it's like armor plate, one inch is nice, but two feet is pretty much a guarantee.
Like me fighting a bad road at night because the cardiologist would only see me at 5PM (Winter) after which I have a 125 mile drive. Couldn't see the potholes good. Or road colored cattle.
So on went a couple of modified Harbor Freight driving lights. Then the piece de resistance...a pair of Hella 100/80 lamp bulbs. There's no traffic out there. And the Hella's cannot hold a candle to the blinding glare of metal halide new car blue lights. But a knothead with those lights, did not dim at 300 meters. So I gave him a taste of the grape - 310 watts of Halogen Photons.
Some people shrug off ratchets that snap, lamps that go "poof", fans that don't or won't, and integrated circuits that unexpectedly become segregated. I wish I had their patience.
