Ive got some Wipac S6007 Auxiliay driving lights for the cheeky, they come with a 55w H3 bulb.  Is there anything stopping me putting a 120w bulb in there?

Also, I cant figure out why they only have 1 wire coming out of each light.
Will be wired up to a relay and only to the high beam.

you can give it a go with the 120w light... they might get a bit hot but just try and see ;)


and they are probably earthed through the case / being bolted to the car ?   (if bolted to plastic etc.. then you will have to run an -ve lead to the case)

Yup - the second wire is the metal bolt into the car

You will burn out the switch contacts pretty quickly. Get a relay to switch them on and off

They will be relayed, but the switch feed will be the main beam toggle.

I dont want them running independantly, just off the main beam.
Tempted to relay my main lights too, just to be sure they get a pure 14v.  You know what these italian electrics are like!

but why? standard lights surely do the job?

Same deal in the Astra.  Its like having tealights in there instead of bulbs.
And where my folks live its a lot of country lanes.
