Bulb Help: Opti-Blue 100W???

I went to this site www.racerwheel.com to look for Opti-Blues for my high beams. And found that there are three 9005 bulbs for our car. All three are blue but one is named Opti-Blue. And it is 100W! Won't that high of a wattage kill out housing? Now can someone tell me what the other NON-Opti-Bulbs are good for? Also can someone plz explain to me the difference between the 1st two 9005 bulbs that only seem to be different by the spelling of their name. And to also give me a comparison between the 1st two and the Opti-Blues.

Tnx

I have 100W 9005 Eaglites for my high beams.

My sister has 100/90W H4 Eaglites for her civic.

My GF has 100W H1 Eaglites for her RSX.'

And I had 80W 9006 Eaglites for fogs until they were replaced with the Gold 55W Max bulbs.

did you need to add some relay to the electrical system due to the upgrade on wattage or are you running the lights with stock relays?

Ok now, but can someone explain to me the differences between the other two Non-Opti-Blue bulbs compared to the actual Opti-Blues.


Also I am with dfv3.2CL-S and have to ask the same thing, did u have to change ur relay to accept such a higher wattage draw? Good question man .
