Japanese Bulbs!(More current draw?)
I have heard many different stories about MTEC, Polarg, Nokya, Raybrig etc. halogen bulbs causing stock headlamp harnesses to melt! Then I have also heard that some people have not had a problem YET! My question is, if I were to buy Japanese halogen bulbs, would it be reccomended that I get a more durable/heavy duty harness that can take the higher current draw or will these bulbs just flat out burn almost anything you wire em too?

Rep Power: 246 u can get harness's that can handle the currents above standard wattage and handle the draw of the japanese bulbs. the reason many pplz say that they are burning their harnesses is b.c they are buying bulbs that pull out 100watts or watts higher than standard.

wire harnesses, when built correctly, draw power directly from the battery without any wires melting or things blowing up. if you wanna stay safe, get bulbs that are rated 55w/60w and nothing higher. higher wattage doesn't always mean brighter.
