    In Reply to: with 100w you may slowly fry the wiring and harness with the heat. posted by Ali A8 on 2008-08-20 21:21:53

    will likely fry your electrical system (switches and relays are the most likely points of failure) either immediately or a slow death by cooking. The only way to go to a 100W bulb would be to run a separate (correctly sized) wiring harness to the higher wattage bulb (run off of a relay). Even then the extra heat created by the bulb may melt the reflector in the headlamp housing (they are plastic).
