Hello everyone, I have just purchased 2K Maxima GLE and absolutely love it! It is by far and away the most versatile, sporty, luxury, and all around great car that I have ever driven. I recently upgraded my headlights with Street Glow H4 100/90W Xenon-White bulbs. They look absolutely incredible, and the difference in driving is well worth the money. The lights just seemed kind of hot after I got home, I was just wondering if anyone else uses these and if they are experiencing the same problems. The last thing I want to do is to do something to hurt my car. Thanks in advance for any replies!
congrats on the new maxima and welcome 
As for the bulbs, I would watch out. The stock bulbs are rated at 55/60W. Using higher wattage bulbs may cause the harness to melt. I would suggest going back to stock wattage bulbs.

hi all,
before we get confused, there's 2 numbers on the box. there's one that says the ACTUAL wattage and the RATED wattage. you want to be careful about the ACTUAL wattage (it's supposed to be 55/60w). for the RATED, it can be whatever they say it to be (usually, it's BS).
same thing. unless it's actually Overwatt, you're fine.
