100w bulbs..wtf?

[truWarier02]

can you imagine how much heat they put out? If the chrome on our reflectors comes off wit ha bit of rubbing, can you imagine what these things may do to our housing?

That's what I was thinking too..

But OP, try it out and let us know what happens

They are china made bulbs, the are "rated" at 100w...i'm pretty sure they're not actually 100w. Running them for 2 years they've done nothing to the housing on my oem headlights i had or the aftermarkets i have on now...and they don't even heat up much.
My car has DRLs so they are always on during the day at low intensity. I've used them as highbeams for a trip i did from Toronto-NewYork which happened to occur during the night and they didn't heat up or anything after around 3-4h of prolonged use. In addition how many of us are driving around with lit highbeams for prolonged periods of time anyways???

OP. if you want to buy them and try them go ahead. Do not expect them to be a miracle though lolz.

Your car's electricals are not designed to carry that kind of current...guaranteed they will blow.

^so u recommend to not even try

You can probably try and be safe. Worst that should happen is a blown bulb/fuse or both, but it is possible it could fry a connection somewhere. The stocking wiring is a bit dinky and I personally wouldn't use anything other than what is specified for it when no relay or harness is being employed.

When you need to use your brights, the combination of them and your HID's should be more than sufficient for lighting up the road...meaning it's okay that one is overpowering the other.

Typical 9005 bulbs are 55w, FYI.

mkdb89-02se, whatever bulbs you put on your reflector highbeams will never really be brighter then your hids, without possibly causing issues.
I use the ebay bulbs rated at 100w simply because i can buy a set for $10 shipped, when locally cheapest i can find is probably around $30.
If a $10 set lasts me 2 years, i can possibly go 6 years with only spending $30 when the local set would've probably burned sooner then that.


Our cars headlights state
LowBeam 12v/51w
HighBeam 12v/60w
