Headlight wattage

**bail** · January 25th, 2017 02:27 PM

Based on my cars manual it says required wattage for headlight is 55w but i installed it with a 95w osram headlight. Will this damage my battery or alternator?

mas maganda pa retrofit projector mo kung gusto mong gumanda ang bato ng headlight mo.

Bro - It will not.

But check the socket and the wiring,- one or both could melt down,- depending on the quality/gauge of the material used.

I believe that for halogen or conventional filament bulbs, anything above 60W is considered off-road use only.

Siguro pag 3 to 4 hrs naka-on yun lights mo eh ok lang. pro pag may long drive ka at naka-on for say 5 to 6 hrs delekado. Ganun din ginawa ko sa ilaw ng tsikot ko dti nalusaw yun kabitan ng bulb. Maybe depends din siguro sa car. Luma na kasi yun car ko kaya baka marupok na rin siguro yun mga plastic lagayan ng bulb.

Maisingit ko na rin. Anyone may experience sa led headlight bulb? Alam ko maliwanag sya pero kamusta naman ang throw ng liwanag? malayo din ba?

Higher wattage will draw more current, more current require bigger wires in terms of diameter

Fail to do so could melt the insulation of your stock wire for that light you just replaced with higher wattage

The ensuing event is the unthinkable a full blown conflagration because your wires will be exposed and touch each other and short the circuit

Next thing you will need is a fire extinguisher

used to have led bulb on a jimny. good for low beam (near the car). bad for high beam(the light seems scattered). but far away reflective signs lits well. baddest for incoming traffic. they flash me.
