    Hey Guys,

    I bought a pair of 100w H3c globes and was just wondering if they would be ok condiering the factory ones are only 55w? or will it run too hot and melt something? Or will the bulbs just not last as long?

    No, refer previous posts about reflectors melting with 100w lamps fitted.

    Buy 35W HID's

    Crap!!! I had to replace a bulb the other day, and now one is white and one is yellowish, I've ordered a set of PIAA 55w H3c should be good enough to last me until I can afford a pair of the 99spec JDM Xenon Headlights.

    Anyone want a pair of 100w H3c bulbs for free?

    Cheers - Biggie
