This site has 70 watt H3 yellow (or blue bulbs, or white)

http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-L...-1543-none.cfm

I am not really endoursing them. I have never ordered from them. I am just kind of offering it out there as an option. Perhaps H3 85 watts is safe but kind of pushing it. 70 watts may be an upgrade, but does not push the voltage too high.

thoughts???

Delio has 85 W bulbs in his fogs and he says that he has not had any problems as far as melting the harness. So I think that they are O.K.

85W H3's are fine but they don't last as long

as the lower wattage. As long as you don't dive into a pile of snow with the 85W's you'll be fine =)
I'm currently running piaa 55w ions... my hella 85W's never gave me a problem..but it died on me after 6-8 months.

yeah. I'm working on a lighting mod that I don't think anybody's done yet (well, maybe they've done it, but haven't posted about it). So was doing some searching on the org and decided to post ***** a lil.

this mod's taking a lil more thinking than I first thought. I finally have it all down on paper. Moving onto the next step is sourcing the parts cheaply. And I wanted to do a clean setup, so that's gonna take some planning too. Argh, so much for brighter lights (hopefully above 2000 lumens for lowbeams in the stock housing.)
