90w/100w bulbs
« on: November 21, 2016, 06:48:59 PM »
I'm not sure if this has been covered before but I've came across these 90w/100w p45t style bulbs on eBay and wondered if anyone has ever used them. 90w seems quite high a wattage for the spaghetti electrics of a 126 to handle especially as though they should be fitted with the good old fashioned tungsten 40 watters which lets face it, give out as much light as a Christmas tree light. I use the slightly more powerful 55 watt bulbs which are better but could be brighter still. What's (excuse the pun  :P ) everyone's thoughts on these?

I have tried the high wattage bulbs in the past but not on the 126, the result were disappointing the light was fuzzy, you loose the definition of the lens compared with a 60/55w bulb by that i mean with a standard bulb you can see the straight line with the upstand on the LHS which was lost with the 90/100w bulbs :( besides i think there illegal for road use?

I recently bought some H4 bulbs 60/55w Philips X-Treme there a bit pricey but noticeably brighter than the cheap p45t on ebay :)
