Changed Out the Headlight Bulb

beezer · 09-06-2007, 08:08 PM

Living by the Poconos, there are alot of backroads and deer. The factory bulb didn't make it at 55/60w so I upped it to 80/100w. OMG, what a difference

I read another thread about this and no one mentioned a 15a fuse. All happy campers from what I see.

I think I'm buying one tomorrow and trying...since I put the bullet spots on the front, the main H/L look dim during the day and even somewhat at night............I had read some other messages that said these burned out more frequently .... but if everyone else has had good luck......
