Default Yay..just got....

myself some new high beams (Piaa H7's) and am deciding on which daylight running lights I should get (In Canada the fog lights are the daylight running lights). I was wondering if I should get the 135W ones or the standard 85W ones, would the 135W ones burn out faster than the standard 85's? or should be they roughly last the same period of time? I believe the 135W's should look a lot brighter, but they're at a costly 50bucks per bulb. Any ideas? <p>Blue/Blue 180QC w/MKII suspension/Madico "Cool Chrome" tint/Growing list

Default Driving at Night ... thoughts

I've never changed the wattage of light that comes with the car I have, so this is more of a question than an answer.

If you go from 85w to 135w won't the running lights be brighter? Do the DRLs in Canada run at night too? Wouldn't you blind / annoy oncoming motorists?

Just my thoughts on why you need to upgrade.<p>Tom Boucher
