how much can i expect to pay for oem at a junk yard? and is it worth using ebay instead (i had a little too much fun drunk on a farm pushing a porta potty, i needed a new paint job on the bumper anyway) and i stayed on the farm so don't preach about drinking and driving please

The bulbs? Or the housing?

You won't burn the wires with 85w bulbs.. I'm using narva rally gold bulbs, and I'm very happy with them. Our headlight harness burns up because its mostly made of plastic, it's not the wires that burn but the plug itself. With an h3 harness, you don't really need to worry about that because its just a metal male-female plug.

I would think that you would have more problems with cracking the lenses rather than melting the wires.
