RE: Overwattage bulbs.

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

I was running 100/130H4s and 100WH1s. I got pulled last week for my lights
not for the wattage but because they were the Hella Yellowstar/Phillips All
Weather type. Yellow lights are illegal as main bulbs and where visibility
is greater than 500 ft. in the state of Washington. Mono wipers are also
illegal in the WA if the car in question did not come equipped from the
factory with sed equipment.

I had not problems with heat, although the were killing my alternator even
after having them relayed. My car would stumble if I put the brights on at
idle and the voltage gauge would drop below 12. With my 80/100s in my car
doesn't skip a beat when the brights are put on. I'm going to the PIAA
Superwhites when I get the chance.

Okay, a couple questions.  What is the feasibilty of running highly overwatt
bulbs in Euro lights?  Like 130w H3 and 100/55w H4s (because the cops around
here are STRICT, I'd better keep a stock low beam as best as I can....).
And yes, they're already relayed (thanks, Shannon!) so spare me that
schpiel.  Anyways, if the 130s don't make things too hot, and the 100/55s
aren't just a crappy idea, where can I get a nice set of both?  TIA.
