100W H1 bulbs for DRL
Hi. I just ordered a set of yellow gold H1 bulbs so I could replace them with my current DRL bulbs. I have a question. Would a 100W bulb be too strong and burn out the wires? No right? Since DRL doesn't draw much power. But that's my guess. Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks. Have a nice day!!!

i dont agree with moda:
if you run a 100 watt bulb where there used to be a 55 watt there will be 2 concerns, 1 the fuse for the headlights may blow using ohms law you will see a 100 watt bulb draws nearly 2 times the amps as a 55 watt. second it generated nearly 2 times the heat. there is a good chance you will melt the housing or things surrounding it.
good luck

An alternative is to get those bulbs that consume 55W of power but emit 85W or 100W (if any) of light. How good are these? I don't know because I haven't messed with any light bulb for the past 5 years.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Since I don't think I'll be getting them anymore!!! Not cause of any buring or blowing causes. It's just I didn't get a deal on those bulbs I wanted.

DRL's aren't such a big deal in the city, but when travelling on 2-lane highways, it's sure a hell of a lot easier to spot a vehicle with DRL's from a distance than a vehicle without DRL's.
Plus, in Canada we get heated mirrors! Ha ha! And -45 degree windchills! Ha - wait a minute...scratch that last part!

To tell yout he truth I bought 100W Hyper Yellow H1s for my TSX last year and they burned out in about 2 weeks. I kept them on from the time the car was on till it was off(high beam). About Average of 4 hours a day. I then went to 55W Hyper Yellow H1s and they are still pretty decent. i dont run it everyday but i do use them.
Ive had them for 7months now!![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
