Thinking of getting these: http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-2067.cfm for the rear license plate lights.

However, I noticed that the wattage on these bulbs are 10W while the OEM stock one is 5W. Is this safe? Will the connector burn/melt because of the higher wattage? Please advice. Thank you.

 

Maybe, but wouldn't you really rather replace your 5W license plate lights with 1W bulbs? Or even 100mw bulbs?

 

Replace with Glow worms
Definitely darker not brighter, dont want to help the traffic cops catch you!

 

Seriously guys... is it safe?

 

Sorry thsiao I found a website that notes that the Ampage will increase by 2 times if you change from 5w to 10w which takes you from .8amps to 1.6 amps.
I dont know however if that will harm the wires. Over to the experts for that.
I had a look around to see what you could do and came up with the same supplier you got your LED's from which I would have thought would work?

Good luck!

 

just get a 5w bulb that is hyper blue if that's what u want. local auto supply shop should have them. don't need brighter stuff and risk melting your harness.

 

I actually want bulbs in hyper white that are 5W... problem is, I can't find any with that wattage. Seems like they only come in 10W?

Anyone know where I could find hyper white bulbs in 5W?

C5w, same as stock

 

are those bright whites? for cayenne?

 

Yes and yes.

 

no faults i assume?

 

just ordered the bulbs cant wait to see how they will look

 

Not my car but pics of the bulbs installed. Its a much cleaner looking light, not necessarily brighter and easier to see but thats a good thing

Before





After

 

No, same draw as stock. But even running the 10w you would not get a fault but perhaps down the road a burned wire and massive headaches / costs to repair.

 

burned wire the voltage to much?

they look nice
