    Hello fellow-tsikoteers. i just wanna ask what's the highest possible wattage, and good brand too, for my headlight bulbs without altering anything on my electrical wiring? im currently using stock bulbs and i want to replace with brighter specs. TIA.

    bro di na ba kailangan mag lagay ng relay pag palit nito, nalalabuan na rin ako sa buga ng headlight ko.

    Pilips XP has stock wattage, but brighter than stock.

    The wiring is designed for stock wattage plus safety margin. you can use higher wattage but you may remove or go over the safety margin of the design. Disadvange ay hi wattage bulbs ay madaling umitim ang reflector and maybe pati iyong lens.

    Sulit ang Philips XP or Osram nightbreakers. but still using stock wattage.

    using the same halogen bulb type does not have much additional glare. wag lang baguhin ang aim.

    kahit stock wattage na halogen, kung itinaas naman ang aim equates to glare.

    The XP costs about 1,500 per pair sa individual sellers. Night breakers is about the same. Sa blade, 2.2K+ ang 1 pair ng XP

    Ano nga pala ang gamit mong tint? Maybe ito ang cause kaya sa tingin mo ay madilim.

    55 watt HID kit ... they plug into the stock wiring so technically, it's not altering your original wiring.

    Installed in the stock "meant-for-halogen" optics? No offense GH, but you should know better.

    No moral judgements ... TS was asking a pure technical question.

    Probably 2 years of blinding incoming motorists as well.

    Kung mahina ang buga, possible na physically marumi na ang reflector kaya mahina. Pa HL cleaning na muna, sabay na rin pa smoke.

    Another possible cause ay baka kulang na sa voltage ang umaabot sa bulbs. baka may mga loose connections. Kung medyo luma na. a grounding kit MAY help. pero check muna ang wirings for possible stray resistances dahil sa loose connections.

    Possible din na humina na ang bulb na nakakabit due to old age.

    Kamusta naman ang pagka aim? baka kasi either sobrang taas or sobrang baba.

    osram nightbreaker better than stock bulbs without the need to replace socket or add relays or change wiring
