100 W bulbs (Hella 500's)
 

Alright so I want to replace my 55W bulbs in my Hella 500FF driving lights with 100W.

Here's some that I found:

Amazon.com: Sylvania H3 100W BP Halogen Mini Bulb: Automotive

Would these better or worse? Amazon.com: Hella Xenon Blue H3 Bulbs (High Wattage) 100W: Automotive

If you have any other suggestions or opinions on what I posted let me know.

I just want brighter lights without spending the money to get KC's or PIAA's just yet.

i've wondered the same myself. not sure if its safe for the housing...

I never use the lights for extended periods of time so I don't think it will effect the housings much

if there behind the grill i wouldnt run 100's other wise not too bad

as much as i hate to, i'm going with the hella bulbs.. i had one of my 55 watts burn out in my 500s, and i picked up the run of the mill sylvania from advance auto, and the remaining hella was much brighter...

i have also read on another forum that Hella has said that you can swap to the 100w with no modifications

So the Sylvania 100W bulbs and Hella 100W have noticeably different output?

i know the 55w sure did.. not incredibly noticeable when driving and their on, but from in front i could tell a difference.

I'll keep that in mind

I had the 100watt blues in my hellas, I thought there a waste. I could see more with the clear 55watt bulbs.

So the 100W clears would be better I'm assuming.

I read that the blue's took away from road illumination

You go it, I wish I would have taken pics to prove it but in the rain it didnt look like they were on. All I have was 55W stock clears and they do fine but I have both patterns up front.

I wonder if any brand of bulb would be better. Like Hella's vs. Sylvania's

I had the nokya 100w blues
