For a 1986 4WD turbo at , I would like to install 100/80 watt bulbs.

I know that it is only legal for off-road use....

Apart from extra relays and extra copper wires . do the plastic housing support

the (nearly) double power consuming ?

 

Who has some experience ?

Any input is welcome before may be burning my car !

umm ... there is no plastic housing in stock form - your headlights are glass and the bowles are steel with a chrome coating - so no problems there - the only plastic piece is the retainer for the bulb itself!

 

you will DEFINATELY need to run a completely seperate wiring harness/relays for the headlights, as your stock one will go up in smoke with that setup!!

This information is for USA models, per US Department Of Transportation regulations. I would be careful about assuming what other countries' regulations allow on Subarus.

this is VERY important!

The wiring is no problem (I am an electronic engineer) , but I doubt the plastic

part . It is the rear of the headlight (different in Europe ?) and carries not only the bulb but also gives the total stability of the headlamp.

 

So I would like to hear from people who really did this with pos/neg experience.

 

Thanks for all input !
