Incress the wattage may not be safe, other people may be blinded. What is wrong with the lights you have now?

Most of these replacement bulbs that are high wattage will infact be absolute garbage and do more harm than good. One of the only bulbs that I will recommend are PIAA. You will need to use two relays for these bulbs as they draw a ton of current that will more than likely melt the harness where it makes contact with the bulb. It is a simple operation to do.

what does PIAA stand for? And can you tell me the wiring diagram for it? Thanks
