Dan Evans Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 hey guys, just bought som 100watt ice blue bulbs from ebay, are they going to be illegal in the headlights??also what bulbs go in the foglights on the fron?? H1, H3, H4 etc?? Quote
4efte_ryan Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 i take it you are on about headlight bulbs?? and as long they are e-marked bulbs they are ok, i used to have these in my glanza but have now upgraded to hidhope this helps Quote
Dan Evans Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 yeah they say emarked, i wont have to get bigger fuses or anything like that will i, because the standard bulbs are 55watt Quote
paul w Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 They are illegal for road use. Road bulbs are 55/60w and more than adequate for the job especially in the 30% uprated type that are still legal. :surrender: You will be blinding every other driver on the road. :surrender: Quote
ste91 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 You will be blinding every other driver on the road. :surrender:And being in a Starlet it's even worse. There's always some fucking prick in a Range Rover with full beam AND foglights on and because you're so low in a Starlet their lights are shining right in your face... can't see fucking anything. :surrender: Quote
4efte_ryan Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 sorry i didnt read the post quite right i had 55w ice blue headlamp bulbs in not 100w so yea would be illegal Quote
Ryno Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 had 100W blue'ish RING bulbs in for 3years and never got so much as a raised eye brow! use to have them because the roads round here are the type you need all the light you can get :surrender: haven't got them in the evo tho because times are changing and VOSA/Police are just waiting for any excuse to give cars the once over!

Dan Evans Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 whats the size in the glanza fog lightss and the wattage? Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 mate tbh ive got some in mine they say there blue but when there on there really white the cops dont say nuffin i got pulled lastnight by the police and they didnt even raise an eye brough lol Quote
Dan Evans Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 yeah, I've been told if i put 100watt bulbs in, i may melt the loom?? Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 yeah, I've been told if i put 100watt bulbs in, i may melt the loom??Youll probably melt the plug that pushes onto the bulb.Thats what normally happens due to too much heat when running higher wattage bulbs Quote
Dan Evans Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Youll probably melt the plug that pushes onto the bulb.Thats what normally happens due to too much heat when running higher wattage bulbsmelt the plug?? really?? i put them in tonight so will have to wait n see what happens, do yo think i should just put the 55w back in???

Kara GTT Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Ask one of the uksc mot experts im sure they will know! LMFAO Quote
Glanza_cl Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 i'm surprised your feller doesn't no the inside out of bulbs he seems to no everything else Quote
shelly_star Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Been using 100w bulbs in my car for many years, starlets are fine with them in, never melted anything or damaged my lenses, and never had a fail on Mot or ever been stopped for them as long as they shine a white light, a hint of blue is fine. Whoever said they are blinding is silly , because HIDs are far far brighter than these bulbs!! And the 30% brighter bulbs are a lie i dont see any difference to it. Trust me i've bought so many bulbs in the past And yes glanza front fogs are H3C, rare too Quote
