xenon blue headlights
Today i decided to buy the high watt bulbs for my car(85w) instead of the normal 55w. The guy told me that it might crack that housing where the low beam bulbs are because of the heat. Has anyone had any experience with this or any insight about this subject??

Depends on the light enclosure your putting them into..........
My 93 90 lights can handle higher wattage bulbs with no problem. However my 88 90 cannot, because of an internal plastic reflector which gets cooked as well as the connector melts.
Same story on my 86 Coupe.
What car are you putting them into?

I am putting them on a 98 a6. I already bought the 55w blue light but they arent bright at all. I wanted the higher watt ones. Now i just dont want to mess up my car.

I have a very thick skin, a full collection of military surplus, AND great lawyers
Watching AW go into the toilet for the past 4+ years has been painful. I never thought I would see german rice and now there are whole forums. I must be getting old.

The "Xenon" bulbs will decrease the lighting performance of your headlights...
...as the light put on the road will decrease with the use of "Xenon" bulbs. If you want better lighting performance, upgrade to aftermarket Xenon HIDs.
