Xenon lights - should I install them

[3ebMetsJets]

Hello,

I own a 2003 Corolla S model - and my car cam with 55w/60 w headlights and i just bought 80w/100w xenon lights

a) is it ok to install a brighter wattage lightbulb?
b) do i void any warranty for installing these bulbs?
c) should i even bother installing them, lol..

appreciate any help.. thanks a lot!!

If you're worried about warranty I think you should be fine. Many people install Xenon bulbs on their cars.

I think you should go ahead and do it, they look great on mine! After all, my nicemname is Xenon

thanks for your response dude - i just want to make sure that i wont do any damage by installing the bulb (overheat something) i've been told by a few people that it might melt something and then i've been told by some people to just go ahead and install them... so i am confused...

I have PIAA 110Vatts which is allot more than the car should handle but it's been working fine ever since I installed it.

Plus, I know a few people with 2003 Corollas who have Xenon bulbs on their cars...

all those euro bulbs and HID wanna-be's are SHIT!

Talk to this guy:

and buy shit from him.

most stock halogen wiring is setup to handle 65 watts of juice w/o any probs.
if your wiring/bulb melts/fry's, the dealer will not cover under warranty. ( i asked a couple techs and they Know when someone's been using over wattage bulbs )
i'd recomend getting a wire harness for the extra juice.

somethin like that. plus if you ever decide to run real HID's, the harness should handle current draw. but that's a whole other story.

I installed them a set of the same xenon bulbs that your talking about, the only thing is that after about a month of using them the little silver cover over the bulb turned all sorts of colors. This is probably due to the fact that the car has daytime running lights. I disabled them recently its pretty easy, once I did that it stopped changing colors, well at least for now! If you check out this guys site, he’s got a part on how to disable them, it should be the same on a 2003, but I am not too sure.

well I installed them - so far so good. i'll check back in a month, lol.. hopefully nothing bad happens... i saved the old bulbs incase these bulbs need to be removed...

i ain't messing with the DTRL... but thanks a lot for your message

either way, you should get the wire harness. your light output will increase due to better current flow with bigger gauge wires. (less resistance than stock wiring)
they only cost $40 i think.
enjoy your new lights!
