Just wondering if anyone has fitted those powerful 100W rally bulbs as their full beam. I know they are illegal but who is going to see them? - You turn them off when there are other cars around!!! The light from the F isn't the best and I was thinking this could sort it out.

Don't sit with the car not moving and the main beam on - somthing will get hot - the air of the moving car should keep things cooler - [b]IF [/b]the wiring and fuses can handle it. Your 100W bulbs will be drawing nearly twice as much current.

Don't buy the 'Ring' one's, had a set of Artic White and the bulb lasted about 1 week! Of course I didn't keep the receipt ](*,)

Osram aren't a bad price ~£40 for all four bulbs.

lantis it wasn't the drivers side was it? i had 4 different sets of piaa bulbs everytime the right one blew first. Quite expensive at 60 quid per pair

classmaz- yea man it was the drivers side i swear sumfink is fishy u kno! maybe the passenger side has more cooler supply of air or sum crap like dat!

It might be just that there's more wire between the passenger side and battery than on the drivers side, therefore slightly more resistance, therefore slightly less current and it would switch on slightly slower.

Just a thought.
