i havent tried the 4x, but i had the 2x and they gave me no problems

i cant see how they would 'melt' the housings (maybe the diffusers)
they might do some damage to the harness though

yes 4x will have a 99% possibility of melting your harness and blow out quickly..
your best luck is just to stick with the 2x like i have..

how technically skilled are you? if you are using stock headlights, there is a possibility that the high current draw from the bulbs may melt the harnesses, an easy fix to this is to just use the power wires in the car side of the harness as your triggers for two relays. this way you can supply more power flow to the lights. PM me and i can help you with this more specifically.

im using mtec 4X in my TYC projectors and i love them.
