Will these work OK in our cars? I know they are 100/80 W and I dont wanna screw anything up. My friend says he has 110/90W bulbs and they work fine so I just wanted to double check. Please take a look.

Here they are

Thanks
Eric

they should fit ok, and they should work alright for a little while at least.
I got some that were that wattage and one of my connectors ended up melting and the bulb was smoking when I took it off. (the other one was fine thought...strange)

a lot of people have them and haven't had any problems and then there's a few that have, there are no way of knowing.

if you upgrade your wire harness then you should be fine, but if you keep it stock than you might have some problems.

hope this helps

Any true high wattage bulbs can potentially melt down your wiring harness...and even explode in the headlamp assembly.

Stick to 55W.. or the liar ones.. like "55W = 90W" claims

i agree with what everyone else says: higher watts can burn your harness and off brands are more likely to burn or blow. i use the sylvania cool blue h4's. they are 55w and they are bright to me.

yo~ I am using razo premium white zero H4 60/55W and it works fine on mine for almost a year. I can just recommand to use those blubs which made in Japan would give me sort of guarantee, coz my friend got a pair of taiwanese and it just bombed less than a month.

Yep. Those 100 watt bulbs will pull too much current and burn up your wires. Stick with the stock wattage on the first number.

My buddy had a 2000 Altima and he put those in it...ended up paying well over $200 for the dealer to fix both his wiring harnesses due to the being fried by those bulbs...they were all melted and stuff..
