i went to by hyper white bulbs for my projector headlights and i didnt know which to get...the 55w or the 100w...

the guy was trying to sell me the 55w one cause he didnt have the 100w until tomorrow and he said the 100w will burn our wires...

is that tru? can our cars handle the 100w ones?

my old bulbs were 50 and 51 watt bulbs for my stock lights. now i'm running 80+ watts in there. buddy of mine ran 100 watts and had a problem with his burning out. he had to buy a new socket for each light and rewire it in. so i say stick with something under a 100 watts. that's my advice.

Dont get the 100's i bought 100 watt bulbs and noticed a wierd smell a few nights, then one day i look and theres a cloud of smoke and a extremely wierd smell, i poped the hood after burning my hand, the bulbs totally melted the harnes and wires never again will i be dumb enough to use that high of wattage

hmmm ok but what are the best, brightest lights for our car? these were super plasma, 55w hyper white i think..

is that good? i want the brightest our car can handle without burning out my shit

i have the cuzo's in mine now and my friend has another brand similar to mine in his. both brands are around 80+ watts but under a 100 watts. i had them in my bike too. made a huge difference. i'll try to find a website and post it.

ok, thanks dude

ok, ill look for something around 80w....

any particular brand ? i know i want hyper white, but is that plasma thing good?

ok, now im confused. im searching hte net and its saying that 55w = 80w and like 85w = 135w

so which do i want...the 55w or hte 85w one?

wait, the projector headlamps use fog light replacement bulbs?

i found these, has anyone heard of these or know if these will be bright?

Basically, bulbs will DRAW a certain amount of power and put OUT a certain amount. Stock bulbs draw 55 watts, and most aftermarket hiper white bulbs draw 80 to 85 watts and will put out 130/100 watts. The 130 is for high beams I believe, and 100 for low beams. What you're mainly concerned with is the amount of power it draws. The high wattage (80-85 watt) bulbs may melt your harness - one of mine melted, but the other was completely fine. I guess it's luck. Here are the bulbs I have in my car:

When one of my harnesses melted, I just electrical taped it tight together, and it's been fine for the past couple of years.
