scubapics Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Any changes to the wiring needed? Can the existing wiring handle nearly twice the current? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just stuck them in lots brighter and no nasty burning smells so I guess so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1 HNK Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'd be concerned of heat issues with putting such higher rated bulbs in. Could be an expensive mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Did that on my old car as I never used beams. They looked awesome. No problems with wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn-350 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 some of the bulbs i've looked at, have a clear coating on to protect the plastic lens ie heat, i think most people would only drive with full beam on in short burst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
