I would like to add 100W H-3 bulbs to my stock driving lights on my '75. That's a 45W increase. Will the stock wiring handle it or am I in for a disappointment?? What upgrades should I do to pull this off?? Don't want to damage my ride. . . Thanks.

I think some wiring changes will be required imo. Just get some good aftermarket replacements with 55 watt. You sure you have 55 watt now? Halogens and that high of wattage were really not around so much in the 70's. |
