Smile Replace 60W bulb with either 55W or 65W, problem?

Hey guys, I wanna replace my high beams with these bulb from http://autolumination.com/headlights.htm



However, the stock housing used 60W but there aren't any 60W on that site, just 55W or 65W so I'm just wondering if I replace the bulb with either of those, would it be ok...?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Both will be fine a 5w increase or decrease is barely nothing, Beyond that 100W+ is were could be problems...

Id Recommend getting these PIAAs Instead (http://www.amazon.com/PIAA-10925-900.../dp/B000MG6308) 50 bucks shipped, TireRack also have them for 55 bucks. The price may be a bit steep from what you wanted to buy, but Believe me they are Worth every Penny. For that Price you could even get a Cheap-O-Ebayer HID Kit but CHEAP Nonetheless...

I thinked HIDs too but the LAG Between On and Off make them difficult just to flash some highs off they simply dont charge up fast enough and it probable do more damage to the bulbs than anything else...
I have HIDs in my High Beams but I cant Flash anybody anymore if they arent 300ft or more away (Highway), Close enough (Neighborhood chillin) is useless they will go away before the HID bulb start to bother them.

Those PIAAs obliterated my HID Lows in Brightness anyday and they Flash Instantly so they work best for Highs also they are +4100K Close Enough to OEM...

dont flash/high beam other cars going too slow for you ,,one of these days it will be LE
and you are in for an unpleasent conversation that ends with you being wrong~
that would be the better outcome!

just saw where road rage stopped in the middle of freeway!!- the guy who got beamed yanks the (of course drunk) beam-ers door open, rips glasses off his face,,,blows ensue,, Cops arrive.. and it ends up on Las Vegas Jailhouse tv~

In the words of the Late Great George Carlin:

Ever notice anyone going faster than you is insane!!~
and everyone going slower than you... is an Idiot!

really good low beams are better than our hi beams
no hassles with wide spread light pattern bothering oncoming drivers

I like a set of aftermarket compact units with pencil beam (thin line) bulbs that extend a greater distance forward,,they attach to lower grill next to the radar jammers,,stealthy

whats coming up in a hurry-- is what concerns me the most,,whats from the side after that

I Never flash anybody without them having their High Beams On this is True even on Low Speed.
Integras seem to be the norm here with their 4 headlights always ON and all being HIDs here on Sandi their Low Beams are Projectors but their Highs are Reflectors sooo F*em.
If they want trouble they will get it, Nothing like a good brawl to kick start the week.

Low Beams doesnt work in Desert Highways or places just too dark, Thats where the Highs Kick In..

They will run you 50 bucks out of Amazon w/Free Shippin but remember that Low Cheap-O HID Kits always stop working in 1 month to 3... Good Quality HID kits run from more than 90 bucks So the PIAAs are Still cheaper and Flash Instantly.
