H3 Showoff Krypton Super White



I just bought a set of these for my fog lights on a 2K2. Will these melt my housing, or harness? I am not going to use them if that is a possibility. Has anyone used them? If these are bad bulbs, which would you guys reccomend?

What is the wattage of the bulb...and be sure you're reading the actual power rating, not the "looks like 5,324,234.5 Watts."

LOL that's a good question. I'm still looking for it. Not easy.

SIZE: H3
WATTAGE: 12V 100 Watt
COLOR: White/Blue
H3 Krypton White/Blue Bulb 12V 100 Watt

I assume the "Krypton" is the same as "Super White". I assume that super white is just the coloring. There are the specs. Help?

i think our factory bulbs are 55 watt...soo 100 might be too high, ask around before installing...dont' wanna make a mistake.

That's what I'm doing on here :-)

is it actually a 100 watt bulb or is like 55=85 or 55=100?
if it doesn't say on the packaging, take a look at the bulb itself.

NOTE: All labeled numbers for the amount of watts beside the bulbs (## W) are projected OUTPUT wattages. These are not the standard wattage for the INPUT of the headlight unit, which is between 55 and 65 watts for most every car. Please make a note of this. Thanks!

What does this mean? I found it on a web page for lighting. I don't know what the bulbs say cuz I haven't gotten them yet. I am HOPING that someone has Showoff bulbs and can tell me that they are indeed only 55w and I shouldn't worry about it.

Since we're on the subject blowing fuses and melting wires and crap. I bought euro lite bulbs for my parkign lamps and reverse lights.. the original ones were 5w.... for whatever reason i got 18w bulbs.. because the blue glass on the 18W was bigger and it looked better from the outside. Am i gonna melt anything?

Neal728

No one has these bulbs? Sad me I don't want to burn out the housings.

you know, i got the same ones. blue, rated at 18w. no problems that i know of. they work fine and the increased wattage seems to offset the decreased lighting from the dye. they're not on long enought to cause any problems i think.

Neal728

Darn, we are supposed to be talking about the bulbs on my ride here guys. Start your own thread. J/K, but seriously does anyone have these?

Neal728

Bump. I won't do it again, just giving it one last shot :-(
