Nokya Xenon Plasma lights

hey, i just bought a pair of these xenon lights through ebay, they were cheapies- only $18. i read the packaging, it says that it increases the wattage to 80/100. thats like double what civics are normally right? will this put unnecessary strain on my car's electrical system? the box says that a nokya wirring harness is strongly reccomended, if i dont get one, do i run the risk of burning my factory wires? when i purchased my car, i also got the extended warranty, so if this voids more than just my headlights, i guess i can just forget about it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG].

thanks

Yes!!!! If I was you, I would get the harness for sure. You'll notice that after you run the lights for a bit that the factory wires will get hot as **** and chances the wires will end up burning

i never heard that a wiring harness is needed for xenon bulbs. my friends and i have been using xenon bulbs for over a year now and we havent been experiencing anyproblems with the brand Eurolight and PIAA. There are some knockoff brands out there that do melt your factory wiring (my friends integra). So i personally recommend EUrolight. It's cheap. and last long.

nokya's are the worst dont run them in your car, they burn out fast if your lucky, otherwise they will mess up your wiring like they did to mine....

I've heard that those are the worst kind of xenon bulbs. probably why they're so cheap.
