100w car bulbs?

Post by Edin430 » Sat Jun 14, 2008 10:57 pm

I take it these are okay to put on? Drawing 100w not a problem? Just I saw the Halfrauds ones are only 30w (although I have seen other bulbs on fleebay at 7,000w!!) and remember people having probs with bulbs blowing etc.

I have had 140w rally bulbs in for a couple of years with no problem, though I do not do a lot of night driving.

Have you considered the Osram Nightbreakers (or whatever they're called).

60/55w and longer beam....

Not sure if this is better than 100W :shock:
