Higher wattage bulbs and standard wiring?
 

Evening people

so i found this HID style bulb kicking about the garage and altho the wattage is a fair bit higher than stock im wanting to put it in.

Attachment 11911

will i need to re-wire the headlights and if so whats the best course of action?


im chucking on led indicators all round and they come with resistors but ive got a relay so is there point wiring in the ones had came with the indicators?

im pretty sure the relay will do its job just wanting 100% clarity

Re: Wiring questions
 

if the relay is one that is designed for LED indicators then yes just use that.

i would not trust the suzuki wiring to run those bulbs.

Re: Wiring questions
 

For the bulbs, you don't need to rewire them, just a straight forward remove current H4 bulbs and plug in "HID style" bulbs.

Also, no need to worry about the higher wattage. I know it's not recommended you go over the stock wattage, but when I replaced my stock with 100w H4 bulbs they were fine and worked without any problems.

Why not? :eek:

It's not an actual HID bulb, but rather a HID "style" standard H4 Bulb. It should work just fine.

ok thanks guys, will get it all hooked up in the next few weeks. oh and musne if my headlight cover and bits start melting ill be coming for u...beijing o damn! lol

Re: Wiring questions
 

Hahaha! Trust me dude, nothing will start melting.

I fitted proper HID bulbs to my (ex) SV and nothing melted, a small H4 bulb will do no damage. Like I said, I had the 100w H4 before customising the bike, it was a standard plug and play job.
