Default 100W Super White Bulbs For Headlight (9006 Low bean)

Will installing a pair of 100W super white bulbs damage the wiring system? This is on the stock headlights on a 94 accord ex. Thanks.

most likely yes.

try doing the 9005 hi beam mod, 65w is not too bad on the low beams

Installing a 100W bulb on the accord will melt or deform the light housing and for the 9005 low beam conversion, I did it before it came out good, but then the bulb don't last that long.

100W bulbs on an accord = bad idea ....9005 conversion done correctly is a great upgrade....it's not exactly HID but it's deffinately an improvement.

I had PIAAs on my car for about 4 years, ever since they were available in Canada, but I got tired because I felt they didn't perform like they should have, so I went with Hella 100/110W and I really liked those.
