i am wanting to get new head lights on my 01 SRX and want to know what could happen if i get a bulb with a 100 watt hi beam and a 55 watt low beam. the stock ones are 60 hi and 55 low. would it just burn out, and melt stuff???
I would stick to stock. The sled is only capable of 300 watt, and that is from a healthy stator. Hit the brighter and you are only leaving 100 watts to run the rest of the sled.
A couple of bucks

Most definately YES. The most I would go safely would be 60/65.

i truly believe the last sled i bought has a damaged stator because the previous owner did this ...
i put stock bulbs now in but sometimes she still acts up quite a bit!!! sometimes my lights just dim, then come back on , im gonna be doing a stator someday!!!

thanks, i though it was a bad idea, but its nice to know others imputs. and Fortuna should i buy the Sylvania ones or the nighthawk, i want the brightest bulbs i can get that wont effect my sled
Either stick with stock or install some relays. Eastern Beaver www.easternbeaver.com sells plug and play relay kits. Easy to install. You can run SLIGHTLY higher watt bulbs then.
I HAVE USED BOTH they are both great . some say silverstar are sort lived but if you cant see you are short lived . we put in a sliverstar in a ski poo , wow blast me away . now it sucks when he follows me . as i have mirrorsConstip8r said:
Use PIAA. They have a high output and low power consumption.

I would stay away from the GT-X tho. Awesome at night but very hard to see them during the day.
