| ![]() Bit of a dumb question but better to ask : Im planning to upgrade my headlights to 100/90 with a Philips kit since Ive started doing highway drives more regularly. What I want to know is with this upgraded relay and wiring kit installed can I still use regular 55/60W bulbs in it ? I prefer swapping out bulbs and using the 55/60W bulbs in the city and the 100/90W on the highway. There isnt an issue if I do this right ? The upgraded harness doesnt output higher voltage or current which would blow the weaker bulbs ? |

Just change whichever ones you want to 90/100, or all four, if you want. H1 and h7, I believe, for high and low, respectively. Buy relays too. Personally, I used 100 on high, but only for highways, and against cabbies. Last edited by mayankk : 14th March 2015 at 20:02. |

| ![]() Thanks. Im not going to be doing it that often, just when Im in the city for longer stretches. Im assuming using the higher wattage bulbs would put a strain on the battery/alternator ? My car is a Chevy Beat |

| ![]() Hi, is there any one in Pune who does conversions of Halogens to Xenons. I have a BMW X1 she does not have Corona Rings/Projectors/Xenons. The BMW service center does not do it for various reasons. Any body reliable in Pune. Thanks |

| ![]() The stock 'halonix' bulbs on my 2009 VDi needs to be replaced. The low beam is pathetic to say the least. What would be better between philips 'xtreme vision' and osram 'night breaker' unlimited? |

| ![]() I want to know the same thing. How is the 100/90 upgrade done to headlamps with H1 and H7 bulbs. - Is it that only one (high or low) beam is upgraded - OR are there special wiring harnesses that can handle both - OR do we need to uses two sets of wiring harness I had posted this query before but did not get any answers |
