Ichibahn 130w 9006 bulbs + heavy duty headlight harness?? Pu12en12g Questions

Is a 130w bulb legal for low beams?

where can I buy an upgraded harness? can I upgrade my stock 97 harness?

where can I buy these bulbs?

are these better than lucs clear 100w?

lastly do I want the 9005 or 9006?

these will work with modified lt1 headlight housings right?

Have you thought about going with an aftermarket headlight like the Hella 90mm's. I wouldn't waste my money on the stock light housings.

yep thought about it and not really worth the extra money to me. I know the lucs are a nice upgrade from stock but I hear the Ichiban are better

I cant comment on which bulbs are best for the stock housing, but for maximum visablitiy, you need to replace the stock housings, they are the problem. Adding better bulbs will help some, but its not going to help much, the optics of the housings will still throw the light in the same areas, it might just be a bit brighter.

Yeah ..at some point I will upgrade the housings but my budget is limited right now. Just looking for some higher wattage bulbs for now. Any one know where to buy the Ichibahn??

That's probably pushing it... the highest I would go is 100w
