My current lights are 51W for low beam and 60W for high beam, so will these high wattage lights cause any problems? I have a 2001 Chevy Malibu. Thanks

Wattage is not an issue. I've had some almost double. But do not waste your money on these. The low beams only last about a month max and within a few days the foil tips will start to peel.

The main thing to worry about is what the wiring and harness can handle as far as current/wattage. However, most wiring can handle it as its not a huge increase in wattage, its the same as a normal house bulb after all. :) My original bulbs were rated at about 50W also, and these new bulbs have been working great since I put them in a year ago. Still working, no problems! Also, they look great and give better coverage than the stock bulbs I had in before.

My civic stock lights highs/lows are the same watagge as yours. 51watts low 60watts highs, and I did not have any problem with it. You are good :-) if you have any other question feel free to ask

Together, but candlepower is such an obsolete measurement. Which KC would go with Lumens like everybody else. They are great lights, but I wish I would have gone with the 130W spot beams instead of the driving lights.

I used a pretty standard Malibu Low Voltage system and while the bulbs were wedges, I do not know if they were "T5" wedges. They don't seem to be quite as bright as the 7W malibu bulb, but have decent illumination. I've had good success with them the last 6 months - no failures and they've worked in 95 degree temps and at -5 degrees.

8/13/14 Hi, Yes.(Philips #9007) The high beam is 65 watts; the low beam is 55 watts. They are together in one bulb. The light, to me, is quite bright compared to my old bulbs. I would suggest changing both bulbs--left and right--at the same time to look balanced.

Should be fine all my vehicles have drl no issues except u manually have to turn lights on bacause the dark system only runs off of 40% hi beam side

I bought some eBay led headlights that were rated at 150w. The results were not good. Put an HID kit in there instead and it was easily 3 times bbrighter , however the spread is horrible but I have yet to try to aim the headlights. I think that a stock halogen bulb with high output might give you the best balance. Best of luck. I don't regret the hids though, serious upgrade

These are available for a 1960 Corvette in the 80 and 120 watt. The 120 watt upgrade is 189.00. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

They worked just fine in my stock ballast and ic think those are regularly 35w Cuz 55w is high beams but if you have a after market ballast it'll work fine if the ballast was 55w to my understanding I could bec wrong but it'll just last a Lil bit less longer than usual no fires or n e thing

you can use these or the 35 watt. These are a lot brighter than the 35 watt HID's

Make sure you have enough ampage running to the lights. Although the first set i bought didnt work but a replacement set was sent to me. Those did work. I have them on my truck still today ;) the white led ones are alot brighter thanthe amber ones. (Which i have both)

Look in your owners manual to see what bulb your car takes for low beam, then order those in the 6000K range

Not sure. I cut them off anyway and use ac electrical twist connectors (and tape) for better reliability. The connectors attached to Malibu lights seem to fail after a year in the rain and snow in Michigan.

These are designed to replace the standard 6024 bulb, so yes, you can use them on your '60s Chevy. I am using them on a '72 Chevy. And yes, you will need a relay (2 actually, unless you have a relay that uses both high and low beam {http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-332209150-Relay/dp/B0010AH6YM}) You will actually have to build a wire loom to handle the higher current the bulbs require, and I have used the original wiring as a trigger for the relay. A spade connector into the original headlight plug on the light closest to the relay will work.

Depends on the car I believe... My car has two sets of bulbs, one is low the other high. Since I added the Opt7 low beams, I have not been in a situation where I have needed my high beams at all, they are that good.I believe they do have High beam replacement though if you felt they were needed. Just stick the the 5000k which is the pure white... If you go higher or lower, you will get a lot of reflection when it snows or rains.

We put in a 100w equivalent led and the wattage was too much, the lights buzzed so we used 60w and it works great.

Yes like others have stated.. check those chintzee connectors (I use 2 opposing screw drive shanks to insure they are fully COMpressed). Also, the bulbs don't make the best seat in these Malibu lights. Truth is the quality is at BEST marginal. There are better quality lamps with less connector/connection headaches. Easy search on the errornet.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.
