  • New Headlights, Dont want to fry the wiring!

    I ordered the xenon superwhite bulbs from summit, made by the matrix company. The only ones summit carried were the 80 watt for the low beams. 9006 was the part number. I know they also make a 55 watt for the 9006 which summit didnt carry. Am I going to fry my wiring harness by putting in the higher watt bulbs? Or will they work ok? Need to know, so I can send these back to summit if I need to. Thanks

    The wires can handle it, but you might blow a fuse or a relay. Only one way to find out. ;)

      13.4 amps (80 watt bulbs) vs. stock 9.2 amps (55 watt bulbs)... the extra 4.2 amps could mean the difference between bright lights and blown fuses! :D
