Worth mentioning, but if your thinking of increasing the wattage on your high beam, be careful. I know on my last car I MELTED the plastic socket onto my H4 bulb, big pain in the ass. I know Joe upgraded the wattage on his CL without any problems, but thought I'd give my two cents on wattage upgrades. Oh, the stock H4 as many of you know is 60/55, high/low and the upgrade I installed was 100/80.

I failed inspection because of non-DOT approved lamps!

Take your car to SOMEONE you KNOW.

BTW, somebody needs to put HIDs in their High Beams!!!

HIDs in High Beams? I was thinking about that but how will it look since that chamber isn't made to handle high output HID lighting? Plus HIDs take a while to charge up so flashing your high beams real quick won't be too benefiicial b/c they won't be all charged up right?
