how come? will it affect it somehow? :bigok:
Well, based on this fomular: P=I.V
P=power=wattage
I=current=amperage
V=electromotive force or potential different=voltage
When you have a 55W bulb (OEM HB) power by 12VDC then the carried current would be I=P/V or approx. 4.59A
When you have a 35W bulb (HID) the current will be decreased to approx. 2.92A
Now, when you have a 80W bulb (optilux) the current will be increases up to approx. 6.67A
Keep in mind that you have 2 optilux bulbs then the carried current will be double and the chance to get fire will be double.
Therefore, the current is proportional to the power, while having constant voltage the current goes up so does the power goes up. This will cause the original wiring harness which use to handle the OEM spec. rating to melt gradually over an amount of times. First, the insulated wire goes to the bulb sockets will get very hot when in active then cool down when inactive and so does the head light bulb sockets then later will burn up those copper wires depending on how long optilex stays on and finally you wonder why your head lights won't light up when to switch on.
^^I would like to know too.
I'd like to say for a personal references to create a good habit in electrical or electronics practices, to stay away from any harzard chemical materials when considering any electrical or electronics components near by.
