R34 Low Beam

[charlie22]

hey guys and girls, i just changed my low beam bulbs to 100watters. one was blown so i just changed both(i "borrowed" them from work ) , i was just wondering because the 100w get alot hotter than 55w will they get hot enough to melt or disform my headlight covers?

100w low beam is pretty intense. sure other cars can still see the road when you are heading at them?

Keep in mind the lights were designed for xenon bulbs (if you have these headlights), which operate at a low temperature.

The 100w globes will certainly produce more heat and may effect the plastics or chrome in the light. However, R34 high beam are a standard bulb (non HID xenon) and therefore fingers crossed if it can cope with those it can cope with low beam being 100w

can u 'borrow' any 4500k HID?

At 100W I would say there is a good chance you will be doing damage to your headlights, not to mention you will blind other drivers, and get pulled over by the next policeman to see your lights

i've had them in for about a week now and haven't had one person flash me and no trouble with the fuzz apart from a speeding fine.

Low beams are set lower than High beams, so I can't see any problem other than watching how your light housings are coping with the extra heat ie. no warping or cracking.

Where you live: on a wet night you might pick up little specks of GOLD shining back at you with those low beams eh?? haha

Cheers, T
