I'm not sure what wattage the 74 camaro comes with,
but im going to be buying this headlight set off of eBay

would the wattage be safe for just a direct replacement?
the H4 bulbs are 85/80W

come on guys some help is appreciated...

and in my manual the usual wattage is 50w, high beams are 55

im gonna assume the wattage of the new lights are too high,
but is this unsafe? any mods i could do?

 

i would assume so if the kit is made for your car, try to ask the seller

 

you could replace the wiring with a lower gauge (bigger) wire, AND possibly a different fuse.

 

i was thinking about relays?
i know thicker gauge wiring would help too,
and i heard a different fuse isn't safe,
the fuse SHOULD be the weakest point, right?

id rather have a blown fuse than heated wiring..

i asked the seller about the wattage difference, he said it's a dirrect replacement, no need for modification
think he just said this to make a sale?

 

aye guys would this be safer?
no mods needed?
its a 55 watt bulb so im gonna assume itll be better

 

The fuse is there so you don't burn up the wiring and start fires and such. If you install bigger wiring, a bigger fuse wouldn't be a problem, as the wiring could handle more. What you wouldn't want to do is install a bigger fuse on stock wiring (hence, why I wrote AND in my original post). Are you now saying these bulbs are 55W?

 

oh dang sorry
i forgot to post the link,
these are H4 60/55W bulbs
you think i wouldn't have to replace any thing with these lights?
(no wiring replacement)
the bulbs on the car right now are 50 low/55 high beam
