I walked into my local Autobahn to buy some new headlamps for my 89 tt import. After talking me into the most expensive street legal phillips (around $100 i dont recall) he proceeded to tell me they were a straight fit. He couldnt speak a word of Japanese which worried because thats what language the instructions were in. After refering to the tech I found they wouldn't fit until I altered them, so I searched for some that would fit straight on. There are a few warnings when fitting 100w blubs to whats meant the be the stock 55w - housing getting too hot - blub blown in a matter of hours. This i do admit was with the H3c blubs that had the warning, is this the same case with the normal H3 with a conversion? Autotechnica sells a pair of 100w H3c as well as 55w (easily found by searching google) alot cheaper than the normal H3 bulbs by phillips. Any recomendations?
Quite a lot of people have run 100W bulbs without any issues. If you need them now I?d buy the cheapies and save up for some HID?s. I have them and there about a bazillion times better than stock
Halelujia! Found a place that sells em cheap! got a pair for $20 H3C 55W 6000K from a place called "Bright Light Auto Parts" in boronia, 0432 572 227. they also deliver. Guy was really nice let me come there at 8pm to pick up a pair. And they are a lot cheaper even that the yellow ones. Plus they got a big range. www.brightlightautoparts.com
I had toruble with 100w lows Yeah i put narva 100w high beams and they work brillanlty but i also but tehm in the lowbeams and cause there in such a confined space and it over heats, they blew out easily.... so use 55w +50s or HID light conversion
yes,i agree with the other guys,put cheapies in there now and save up for the real m'coy,HID'S ALL THE WAY
Both the globes i bought from there blew real quick on a cruise a few months back,both of them within a few days,however i have bought some other stuff from there and it has been good From my own experience ,cheap globes dont last long
