NEW BULBS...NEED HELP! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Takumi on  Thu Aug 8 14:43 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hey all

I recently had Bosch cool white headlights on my 850, but one of them burnt out, so i replaced them with cheapie plasma HID xenon gas filled light bulbs i got on e bay. I just installed them, but I have not turned on my lights yet cuz i have a question. On my stock and Bosch cool white bulbs, its says 12V 60/55W H4 (i have a 1993 850), but on the xenon ones, it sez 12V 100/90W H4 obviously it uses more power..35 watts more, but will it be okay for me to use them? I'm afraid they will burn my wires or something. I haven't turned on the lights yet, and I probably won't until i know what to do.

Thanks
