I'm a total novice when it comes to bulbs so I need some help.I need to replace main high/low beam bulb, and I've been told that the BA's use the folllowing bulb for this: 55/60 watt H4.I've got a pair of H4 Halogen bulbs that are rated as 100/90 watt and I'm wondering are these ok to use? can someone explain how these differ from 55/60 watt? does it refer to power required, or light emmitted? like I say guys... I'm a novice with these so any info would be appreciated. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to install a relay for hi, a relay for low and possibly a change over relay. you would need to tak a fused power feed from the battery to supply the globes,FYI 55/60's on high will draw aprox 19amps 90/100's will draw aprox 31amps. A substancail increase..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
