Re: H7 bulbs

Also Honda Hunter you may want to order a set of the light covers. They are clear plastic and run about $11-12 a piece so its expensive for a set of 6, but if something happens and your lense gets cracked on one of your lights you have to replace the whole assembly. One of mine cracked and you can't get a lense so i made sure i ordered a set of the covers for mine.

So most people using 100w's are doing ok? Also are they using 100w for normal driving?

Thanks for the heads up. I wanted to order them when I ordered my lights but it slipped my mind. I'll proably order some tonight.

I'm running 100w in my car and its doing fine. I do seem to go through a lot of bulbs but i think its cause they are cheap bulbs. I saw the guy pure energy who i guess has tested a lot of light set ups for our car said you need to run at least 85w in hella ff75's.

I have had the 55w that came in my FF75's for over 2 years now probably.
They are fine.

Before that, I tried about 15 different bulbs. I ran the Luks 100w second longest to some Optilux 85w white bulbs (which is what xxsaint69x has ran for a few years).

It is all personal preference.
