so what bulbs do you guys recommend? yung 60/55W din ang consumption para i don't have to change anything...

yung all-weather na din sana

On bulb brands, Philips, Flosser, Osram, and GE amongst some. I still prefer the relay upgrade then use real 90/100W bulbs though. Just make sure maganda yung gawa, even if you spend more... its really a PITA to lose your headlights at night.

Afaik, most all-weather bulbs sold are 60-55W only. Marketing scheme na lang ng bawat brands yung optimum light output sa package, ie; 100-90W, 110-90W, 120-90W, etc.

if you change to higher wattage bulbs the best thing to do is put relays. Not only will the OE wires be stressed also the switches of the lights. Sometimes nothing happens but most of the time the switches will suffer because they are designed for low wattage bulbs. installing a relay is simple enough but the routing of wires is the hard part, btw what is your car? if it is toyota it would be harder due to the dashboard indicator you need to do something sa instrument panel. or if you want some bolt on wiring you can look for IPF wiring harness for headlights up to 600watts.

iceman,

sorry for the late responce

yung relay ko sa head lites ng 97 lancer (pizza) is tapped dun sa headlite sockets na orig, look at it closely and you'll see 2 thin wires and 1 thicker red wire. take note NEGATIVE SWITCHING ang lancer lites. meaning ang 2 thin wires which is connected to your light switch is negative. and the red thick wire is connected to your accessories main line. if your familliar with the bosch relay. 85 will be tapped to the thich red wire while 86 will be tapped to your high(thin wire at the middle) or low beam (the other thin wire opposite the thick red wire) these will be your triggers and 30 will be tapped directly to the battery positive. 87 will be go to to your bulbs. and dont forget the negative direct na sa bulb yun.
