that would have to be really high wattage considering your car battery is in close prox. of your headlights.?

the philips blue don't add to brightness. Not according to the HID faq listed in another thread.

They are as bright as the stock bulbs but they are blue

the are rated 55/60w, but look like 90/100w or something like that. the packaging says they suggest you upgrade your harness, but i think that is for other cars since our lights are already at 55w. i haven't had a problem them at all.

how much are they? where did you get them?

ok, i see what your talking about, yeah anytime your increasing the load over a factory wire, its always a great idea to up it.

i guess we'll just wait for someone with sylvanias to read this thread. are the specs for them posted anywhere online? the color temperature and such?
