NEED HELP!! REGARDING NOKYA BULBS
 

Hi everyone. Hope your day is going well. I just got a pair of nokya artic white bulbs for my 1996 accord ex. The problem is, when i bought it i was told it was a 55W draw, which is the same as oem. Now i just opened it up and it has stamped on them 80W draw. Has anyone installed this high of a wattage bulb using the stock wire harness? Or should I not even risk it? Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Justin

The fuse should blow before the wires go providing you've got the proper fuse installed... however, I don't know if I would risk it.... I HIGHLY doubt you'll hurt the wiring but you may blow the fuse...

thanks alot for your help. I felt bored so i installed them anyways. Maybe not the best choice but I'll suffer the consequences later if it was a mistake. I was told that nokya bulbs utilize a stock wattage draw, despite what is stamped on the bulbs. I was a little uneasy about believing that, but my friend has 80W bulbs on his civic using stock harness and has not had any problems. So i guess we'll see later. Thanks again.

I have them and they are great! Never burned a fuse or no wire damage.

Get rid of your nokya bulbs. They are ****. Made in Korea, aka Daewoo (Daepoo) and Kia (Killed In Action). Spend a little bit more money and get something better like PIAAs, or Mtecs. Mtecs can be found at blinglights.com and another good place to look is automotivelightingusa.com i got the luminics pureblues they lasted about 4 months till both burnt out on me in the same night. just a headlight junkies opinion

wow, first post and already cursing, how quaint, anyways, 80watts generally wont burn out the harness or a fuse i think they can handle a little more then 110watts, but its dependent on the current draw of the bulb
