upgraded wire harness w/ stock bulbs

since i took out my superwhites that were 80w/100w, i put it some sylvania extravisions a few months ago. However, i plugged the sylvanias into the wiring harness. Now my question is, does the harness make a differnce w/ upgraded bulbs or not?? or am i just wasiting time w/ and i should just rip it out?

thanks
Cris

Is it really a good idea to get the upgraded harness and 80/100W bulbs? I mean, is their really an advantage, and wouldnt it be really bright toward oncoming cars??

Question: Why did you take out your superwhites?

Im sure it doesnt matter whether or not you keep the harness...

So your saying because they were so white and so bright, you couldnt see in the rain?!

I guess the water reflected to much light back to the driver.
80/100 are almost as bright as the stock's high beams...it definite bothers incoming drivers.

ok its not so much the wattage BUT the color of light on the road, in order to see someting in the rain it helps to have some yellow light mixed in, even HID has some yellow
