Is it better to replace 12v55w with 12v100w?
1 Answers
Replacing 12v55w with 12v100w may cause some adverse effects, and it is not recommended to change the bulb power. Increased burden: After switching to 100W, the circuit current nearly doubles. This places additional strain on the wiring, battery, and alternator, increasing the likelihood of malfunctions. Significant heat increase: The higher wattage can cause the temperature of the lamp reflector and housing to rise, leading to aging and deformation. Increased brightness: This does not comply with design and vehicle inspection standards and may pose a driving hazard to oncoming traffic. Oncoming drivers may have difficulty seeing the road: This increases the risk of accidents, potentially leading to direct collisions. The human brain has a phototropic effect, meaning it tends to move toward brighter light sources.
