70w high beam bulb?

Do you think this increased wattage will creat a problem in the high beam location on litronic headlight? Thx.

^ everyone is just speculating, you'd be the first to try it. chances are it would be okay, but you're better off just getting an HID kit if you want brighter high beams. The only problem is its hard on the ballasts to flash people.

You risk cooking the interior lens and making it turn yellow.

This is the only thing holding me back from high beam HID conversion.
