So i was wondering if anyone has heard of blowning a fuse from running bulbs with higher wattages? I do intend to use an uprated wire harness but doesn't the fuse blow first before the wire harness gets fried? Are the fuses pretty easy to buy and replace? Im quite a noob with regards to electrical stuff.
I know a lot of people run the 80w bulbs (on low beams 9006) with no issues on stock harnesses but i was thinking of 100w but wasn't sure if that would be a little too much for the fuse.
I would do HIDs but only if i get them retro-fitted. And getting them done by customlightz really isn't cheap!
So for now i was just thinking of tiding myself through with brighter bulbs. I got stock wattage aftermarket Piaas and they are really disappointing. So the reason for going 100w would really be for better light output.
Any ideas on the fuse issue? And i suppose u can pick fuses up from autozone/pepboys should you blow one?
Yeah i know there are aftermarket bulbs that have worse light output than stock because of the blue coatings but i've seen some 80w ones which are really bright.
Hmm..appreciate the input man. Yeah i will do HIDs but only if i get retros. And getting them done by customlightz is really expensive so for now, i might just go with 80w nokyas or something..
Buy some aftermarket projector headlights, alot of them look really ugly with the LED's and halo's but if you look around I've seen some clean looking ones with just Halo's, and then you can get H1 type HID;s cuz thats what most of them run on. 4500k = whiteness
I too was considering 100W low beam replacements for more intense illumination. My 2006 Civic owners manual shows 51W for low beams, and 60W for high beams. But for reasons that some contributors have recommended against 100W replacements, I think I'm gonna stick with a 50W replacement.
