Higher wattage bulbs...
I thought higher wattage bulbs might fry your wriring harness for the headlight becuase of how many watts its going to pull. You might have to change the wire harness to run higher wattage bulbs.
If they are way high it might melt the plastic of the headlight assembly also around the bulb. |

I dont think you have to get a seperate harness for higher wattage bulbs cuz i had bulbs in my other car for a little over a year and nothing ever fried or anything. Other than that, i know nothing about the subject. Peace :squint: :squint: |
Thanks...
Thanks...I'm glad someone caught on to my mods...
I was just wondering about the fried wries...The last I want to see is a Protege on fire because of crazy wattage bulbs frieing everything up. |
I have burned wiring with higher output lights
I would recommend making sure that these harnesses will take the drain of higher output blubs. It took over a year to have problems, but when I did- it was expensive. The turn signal stalk switch burned out, leaving one headlight on, and one off, at all times. I had the yank the fuse to make it work.
I homemade a heavier wiring harness, it is not really hard. Two light sockets, two relays, a fuse, and a bunch of wire, and an afternoon. APC maked a nice kit of a upgrade harness. I would really recommend doing a wire upgrade before using any high output lights. I learned the expensive way, it cost me about 225 to replace the stalk, and 50 in parts for the upgrade.. :blue: |
