question about 120w headlights...

i recently put these lights in my car and my question is about the box on the far left. I was told that i shouldnt put 120w bulbs in because stocks are 55w and it might melt a wiring harness. I am a car noob and not sure and thats wiy i am asking cuz im not sure. Although im sure they are cheap and silverstar is better i was using these till i can get my silverstars. Breakdown of my question is, are they ok to be in with stock wiring harness? They look good and work fine but couple friends keep telling me to take them out. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi, Vidiotgamer. In the future, could you please restrict linked images like yours to something of around 800 pixels wide? Larger images are great for detail but isn't necessary in most cases. Wide images cause the text on the page to scroll off the screen on many monitors, except the really nice (big!) ones.

Thanks.

You should take them out. Sooner or later, they will beign to melt the harness. I know of it firsthand. So...take them out.

get rid of those lights, give them to charity, burn them, anything!

i had 85W bulbs and they melted my sockets in 3 months ... which caused a wide array of eletrical problems... get silverstars ... they cost some more but wont hurt your car. or get real hids ... hidplace.com
