high beam bulb question

[bigmekanik81]

i was looking to buy a set of high beams from summitracing...they are 100w...but they say that you may need to upgrade harness, but if your not using the high beam during a long duration would it be ok to buy and use with stock harness?

I would not recomend that 100w lights use a lot of juice and create a lot of heat which would melt the harness (possible fire).

just buy HIDs for your lows and you wont need highs

I put Silver Star Ultras in mine. Waaaayyyy better than what came with the vehicle.
I went back and got a set for the low beams and fog lamps.

Even Wallys world carries them.

i did that in 2010...went HIDs last year...so glad i did...putting some in wife car next week...pnp

I have hids in the low beams...just thought it would be cheaper to buy high beams as xenon bulbs instead of hids...plus u get that nice blue tint in ur lens

do it! thats how my setup is I had the 100W in my lows highs and fogs for a lil over a year and the only problem i had was in the fogs it melted a lil at the base of the bulbs but i always have my fogs on day or night and frequently did 8+hr trips but stock wires are fine. since then i have upgraded the fogs and lows but kept the high beams (the 100w off road bulbs) still no probs and it does blue out your light I'll take pics after work

you can check out http://www.eurodezigns.com/ if you want a blueish look compared to regular halogens. but compared to a 6k or 8k hid they look more like halogens. these are what i had before my HIDs. but still have them in my fogs. here is a pic of what they look like so you can see the difference

stocks


right headlight 6k hid and the left and fogs are 100w halogen with the blue "xenon" coating


not too good of a comparrison but the 100w are hella bright, sub as good high beam bulbs, and as you said they will def blue the high beam housing a lil
