    Are there high watt bulbs for HB4, to warrant a relay and wiring upgrade job?

    Better to go with Philips Vison Plus or Osram Nighbreakers perhaps? Plug and play, better lighting than OEM.

    I'm using Narva All-weather HB4 on my Corollas.

    Strange though given na hindi masyado malaki yung difference between the 51W and 55W bulb to warrant the socket to melt. Unfortunately, i have not seen any HB4 sockets made of ceramic as the design is different from your usual H4, H3, etc.

    yup kaya nga medyo panic mode ako sir. ayaw ko kasi mangyari ito sa headlights ko using philips crytal vision 4300k 55w low beam

    yesterday kasi na busted yun right side socket + bulb kaya naisip ko somethings wrong. kaya binasa ko yun manual to my surprise 51w nakalagay

    and binalik ko yun stock bulb ko 51w nga yun bulb slyvania.

    though yun isang socket na busted left side but ok yun bulb napalitan ko na socket nagyari ito last month.

    binasa ko din yun manual ng civic 2011 namin 51w din yun hb4 niya weird.

    lahat ng aftermarket 55w. sobrang minimal nga lang yun difference.

    go to auto electrical shop. malamang meron sila. let them install it. add relay if you have the budget. better be safe.
    mahirap masunugan. rewiring will cost you.

    ah ikaw pala yun, small world. oo kinabit ko sa Jazz GE ko. Ayus naman but you need to scrub the glass first. Pwede ba palitan yung rubber lang nung orig na wiper? mas maganda kasi yung holder nun.

    OT yan.

    Anyways yung sa Concorde, made in Japan so ok yun pero pricey ha, mga 200 per piece. Hindi naman basta nasusunog yang mga plugs kung stock bulbs or wattage. Baka meron nag short. Lagyan mo rin ng contact grease, alam ko meron din sa concorde.

    OT: sir hindi puwede replace rubber lang yun wiper.

    stock wattage lang din gamit ko sir 55w polarg pure yellow HB4 yun nga lang sa manual ng fortuner eh 51w lang.
    baka its about time na din sir. kasi 5years ko na din gamit yun bulb na polarg hindi ko lang alam bakit na damay yun socket
    naisip ko din baka nag short kasi yun foglights ng fortuner masyadong expose sa 1st gen walang fender liner may cover pero konti lang
    not sure sa 2nd and 3rd gen., baka minsan pag umuulan natatalsikan ng tubig. pero pag umuulan lagi naman naka off foglights ko just to be sure minsan kasi hindi maiwasan na may splash ng tubig.

    sa FD ko im planning to remove my hid low beam then mag halogen bulb na lang ako, my choice right now is yun PIAA night tech HB4 for my lowbean
    and yun plasma ion yellow niya for my foglights H11
