    I ran these for about 3 years in my First gen., and they worked very well. More light output than any other bulb I tried. you dont need to upgrade any wiring. No "flashing" from on comming drivers either. For those who want more light output, and dont want to run aftermarket lights, or switch to H.I.D., these may be a good choice.

    That's the headlights I have right now. Pretty bright and white for a halogen bulb, best $12 I spent. At first I was skeptical because of the wattage but it was cheap so I thought I'd try it. I ran the lights and the wiring harness didn't even feel warm at all and I've had them for over a year.

    I ran those for 7 months, They were worth it. Only problem I had was it melted my rubber water seal on the back of the housing.

    yeah, Running the 100/130's would do that. The ones I listed in the link are fine.

    The 100/130's are near the max the wires can handle. Keep an eye on them, IMHO.

    I thought they were. I keep checking them especially because its starting to got hot out. Im not sure how much the heat will effect them but i dont want my truck to burn up. My father has been running them in his toyota pesio for about a year and that is still good so i hope mine holds up.
