Hey, I just got new headlights for my 2003 MC and got "plantnium blue" for my low beams. They are the same 9006 and same 12 v however the I noticed the stock bulbs were 51w and the new bulbs are 55w. Those 4 difference in watts isn't to extreme or dangerous right? I just wanted to make sure that it wouldnt be so hot it would melt the plastic or fry the wiring. To me 4watts doesnt seem like a big deal I imagine when they say you shouldn't go up in watts they mean from 50w to 80w something that drastic. I just want to make sure before I put them in and start crusing regularly. Thanks

These are the headlights I got.http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...-Blue&p_cat=72

9006 HB4 12V 55W = 125W (5,600 KELVIN) HEADLIGHT BULBS in PLATINUM BLUE
why does it say 55w=125w

 

You should be fine with those bulbs. Where people have problems with higher wattage bulbs melting wiring is when they convert to HID.

 

thanks. i just wanted to be sure. do you know why is says 25w=125w.
that doesnt mean they produce 125 or anything?
