best bulbs
In my 99CL, I'm using Hiper Industries H.I.D. Super Plazma Xenon bulbs, will this fry my wiring harness, and has anyone swapped the bulbs for all the other light positions?(ex:headlight sidemarkers, blinkers, bumper light sidemarkers)
I'm using PIAA platinum super white bulbs for my headlight sidemarkers, Hibrid Xenon gas charged bulbs for my bumper sidemarkers, and PIAA Xtreme white bulbs for the blinkers on the bumper lights. Will any of these bulbs be too hot for the casing their in, I already burnt my headlight peice on one side because someone sold me a bulb that they said would fit, and it melted the plastic sidemarker.
what would you think would be the best bulbs to put in, if i was going for the look that HID systems give out, without having to buy the HID system?

no piaa bulbs will be too hot. cept for maybe their new interior bulbs cuz they are 8 watt not 5 so i dont know if they get too hot when left on for a while. as long as the wattge is not more then stock u should have no prob. ex putting a 80 watt bulb for ur headlight when it is made for 51-55 watt.

On the low beams, the Hiper Industries Bulb's wattage is 12v80w -> 100w, so that means it's like a 80watt bulb? For the blinker lights, it's 12v27w (PIAA xtreme) For the side marker on the headlight peice (PIAA platinum) 12v5w, and for the side marker on the bumper lights it's 12v18wm Hibrid xenon gas charged, none of these will burn my housings right? Because my friend put a Hibrid bulb into my headlight peice, and the bulb was pretty big compared to stock, but he just put it in, and driving for about five minutes there was a hole burnt into the headlight. Cost about 300 bucks to fix, still haven't repaired it yet.
