i just got my headlights from that groupbuy...these lights are 100W and let me say they are awesome...i took them out b/c i know the harness will fry (at least i think it will)...do i have to upgrade the harness?...if so where should i get it and how much am i looking at spending?

 

Order the harness from Jegs, but lemme tell you my cousin had 90w ones in his 3rd gen and even with the harness they fried. It sucked. Maybe it was the cheap *** lights he bought though.

ill have to check that out...ive never ordered from JEGS...are they decent...good prices etc?

 

I found them to be pretty dang good actually. And they send free **** like hats and t-shirts ;-) Their site is OK, I just called and ordered what I wanted.

 

cool...thanks delio....you got the hook up again

 

you know who to call, I wish Marco had spoken to me sooner dammit...

The one they carry is manufactured by APC. You'll definitely need this to run overwattage bulbs.

I've been running them for a week now. Here's a precaution that I like to take...when in bumper-to-bumper traffic...I turn off the headlights and leave only the foglamps on...100W of light heats up the lens real quick...

 

They are Hiper Industries Plazma Xenon 85/80W (says 130/100W in big letters on the package).

I'll try to remmeber to test them out tonight and let you know.

thats what i got...they are sooo sweet...i ordered the harness and am going to install it just to be safe...

 

How easy is it to install the harness? Just wondering because I should probably do the same thing with my 85W bulbs, although I have yet to have a problem with them.

 

the harness is (IMHO) necessary so the bulbs don't overheat.

i've been running 100W on my APC xenon and APC wire harness over 4 monthes now (and i know of five others on the same setup) and i've had no problems..

it's great and i love it. harness install takes 10 minutes (instructions on my site) and it's pretty nice..

 

With the APC harness on Carparts.com. . . Can someone give me the part number? The only one that is listed isn't listed when I click on it for order. Also, do I need one or two of them? Thanks.

 

50.9104 is the part number.

And you do only need one. It goes in easily, and you can always yank it out and get your car back to stock condiditon.

I was wondering b/c if I were to get some higher wattage headlights I would want foglights that would compliment the brightness of the headlights. Where do I get it and how much?

 

I wouldn't worry about the foglight harness able to handle the current. I would worry about the foglight lens not able to take all the heat and crack. I'm running 70w Hyper Ind. H3 now. The 85w Hella were too much and crack one of my lens.

 

how are those hiper industries bulbs?i was thinking of getting them.......from far away can you notice any kind of blue tint?you should post some pics of these how these lights look at night....i am very curious to see,better than piaa or not?

 

yes you can see a blue tint from far away...i've had a couple people tell me they are similar to the HID's (bimmer, lexus etc.) im pretty happy with em...
