100/80 watt bulbs
Has anyone used or had back luck with APC's Plasma super white xenon 9004 100/80 watt blubs? also do you think they will melt the headlight housing?

Sorry I was typing fast and in a rush I'll start over.
One of my customers used them in his Expedition and they got hot enough to melt the wires and the lens housing slightly. i believe there is a conversion kit to install but I am not sure.
Good Luck

I wouldn't think the additional 6.6 amps (for both) being pulled by the bulbs on high would have any effect on the wiring however, I have been reluctant to use a higher wattage bulb for fear of melting my light housing.
Has anyone else used something similar? What results has anyone had?

I attributed this to the high brightness bulbs, but also the fact that the caprice lamps weren't mounted on a car, thus getting airflow. They were mounted on a pole in the corner of the garage.
