do you mean you would have to upgrade the harness? I'm using 4x right now and would have to say it's alot brighter than 2x. I'ved used both, and they do not look very white through the TYC lens.

The Mtec in the oem headlight is a very nice blue/white hue. I'm using both 4x in my TYC and 4x in my girl's oem headlights. Both are working fine. Lets hope nothing starts to melt.

ya, i mean you have to upgrade the harness. Using 4x have a danger of melting the harness. I just bought a set off ebay, can't wait to try these out. Is better to relay your harness if you're going 4x.

tyc's you can use 4X just fine. in the stock housing youd be better off upgrading your wiring.

I've had the 4x bulbs for 3 months now. I bought two sets. One bulb burnt out already, but the wiring harness are fine. If another one burns out, I get to send it in for the life time warranty deal on ebay...hehe.
