they maybe safe but there is a risk of burning it off, its a mirror film on the top of plastic i fink? | |

re-wire, it aint worth the risk, also u have to becareful that they dont get so hot they burn the mirror off the light backing | |

i had a talk with a load of lads from some garages and they all said they wouldnt even think of installing these bulbs without rewiring the corsa, as they said the standard wiring isnt hardly good enough for the standard bulbs. | |

yes they can take it, 100w will be fine | |

you can stick in a set of 110w/90w bulbs in a corsa b without the need for relays or rewiring | |

thats the thing, i dont have a clue what relays i need etc, the only thing i know i need is thicker wires :( | |

its blinding obvious. just follow the wiring back from the bulbs to wherever they go. a small amount of soldering is necessary. | |

whats the wires and how much of a pain in the arse is it to rewire? | |
Kris TD |

i agree with broster, there was a 2v loss over the standard wiring on mine and my bros corsa, redone it with relays, thicker wire etc.. and its allowing me too run 100w bulbs. if u dont make it better there is a high risk u will set your car on fire. | |

depepds how much more power they use than a standard bulb, it is advisable to re-wire, also bear in mind that a standard bulb will be brighter if you rewire beczuse the standard wireing looses 2(ish)volts | |

Nope they will be just plug and play :thumbs: | |

i want to get those sportzblue headlight bulbs for my corsa B, as they are brighter and have a higher rating, do i need to modify any of the current wiring etc to handle the extra power these bulbs will demand? |
