what's up guyz...I just got new headlights which are 100/130 watts and i was wondering that if it will burn my wiring or not and also wanted to re-wire cornering lights on my 95 max but also i was wondering if it will cause any harm to the car...please help...

 

 

are you sure they are really 100/130s ? that is very high! most boxes just say that and in the fine print state that they appear to be 130w but are really 80/100w (which is what I have). If you really do have bulbs that high then I would not use them without first getting the wiring harness.

 

I am preety sure they are 100/130 watts. Where do i get the harness from and how do i install it?

 

APC makes one, I'm not sure where the best place to get it is, but there are quite a few places that I have seen it online. What type of headlights did you get?

 

The packaging on the package for the APC harness says that it can handle up to 130W systems. The relays are rated for no more than 30amps. My advice is that you return the 100/130W bulbs and get the 80/100W bulbs. Plus definitely buy the upgrade harness from

and install that. If you are hell bent on running the 100/130W bulbs, splice in some fuse junctions between the battery and relays (one for each power wire) an stick in some 25amp fuses. I did this even though I'm only running the 80/100W bulbs. The relays used on the APC harness are very different than the ones i've seen on market...and I take no risks here.

 

i had 80/100W bulbs in my 92 GXE for 1 yrs no prob...

i put the same bulbs in my 95 SE when i bought it ..
it's only been 3 months and one of my harnesses melted .. i had to replace it last week..

Get the wiring harness....
