Hi, if I use this bulb for my Grand Vitara 1999, won't it burn the headlight lamp cover?

ive been using mine for 6 months and havent had any issues with the bulb burning anything or getting to hot. and the majority of my driving is done at night or in the rain so my lights are on almost all the time.

Hi, I use the 80/100 H4 bulb in my Jeep. I changed out the stock lights with H4 lights and have really enjoyed them. The bulbs are bright and have not caused any damage to my lenses. These are stronger than Dot approves for road use

This is what i would do: Find out for SURE if your car uses a headlight RELAY. If it does, fine. IGNORE people who claim you have to change the wiring to bigger wire. THAT is what causes the bulbs to over-amp and burn too bright and hot. BUT, get on AMAZON and query CERAMIC HEADLIGHT SOCKETS for your particular bulb. The factory sockets are CRUMMY and the CERAMIC replacements are much more heavy-duty. The CERAMIC sockets come with pigtails to connect to your original wiring harness. But anyway, the CERAMIC sockets are inexpensive and they are VITAL to insure you do not have problems -- and problems with the 100/80 bulb are way too common. It's the folks who insist on providing too high a voltage who run into problems. My neighbor has been using these bulbs for eight years with no problems. The lights are WAY brighter so adjusting them "down" is vital to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. Buy an extra bulb "just in case". I am a retired electrical engineer.

This bulb should work. It's fairly easy to install also, just take your time.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

I tried it in a 2003 Acura TL. Did not work it fits but would not light. No way to test the bulb. Problem is in inverter/ transformer system. A violation of basic design rules "KISS -- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID " and " irreducible complexity ". Replaced bulb with a halogen bulb like the high beam, glued it in with krazy glue and gorilla glue. Wired it to fog light circuit. Manufacturers can't remember that in 1940 all US cars came out with sealed beam headlights, they did not leak water, they did not get all fuzzy from the sun and you can get replacements from Walmart for less than $9. So current headlight are worth about $3.

Had to return mine. Installed it and worked for one day. When it comes to your sets bulb you should only replace it with either a genuine sony part or a phillips bulb. I learned the hard way too. I found a bulb that works perfectly at, "Discount-Merchant.com" cost me $100.00. Its has a Phillips lamp in it. Good luck

You should contact the manufacturer. I bought the bulb not knowing its requirements.

Sorry I don't know. You have to look at your old bulb and compare it with pictures of the base of the bulb on sale. That's howI I did mine with no problems.

I had the 9007 bulb, which will not fit your car. Yours uses the H11 which should be plug and play for your car. H11 size is available.

make sure that both ends are making good contact With the mounting points, also don't touch glass of the bulb directly as the oil in the skin will cause the bulb to burn out very quickly

No! bulb has a large ballast, and reducing the electricity to the Bulb will cause it to burn out early.

I haven't had that happen to me. My regular bulbs would run so hot they were burning my covers. These bulbs can stay on for a while and the cover isn't even warm.

I have the bulb in a Amerlite housing. I don't know about your bulb though.

I don't know. I should research it as I don't care for the wattage. My bulb will probably last a long time because I don't like it. If you find one please post!

Depending on the heat dissipated by the current bulb you're using. If these type bulbs don't cool off or are encased, they can melt. I tried using one of these for accent lights in a headlight harness and melted away.

This bulb did not work in my Grandrich floor lamp. My lamp requires a Grandrich bulb. That is what I ordered but received a "Made in China" bulb and it would not work. If your lamp is a Grandrich lamp, it will require a Grandrich bulb. I haven't found any others that work in my lamp.

Yes, make sure you get the correct size bulb. If you have after market headlights, be sure to get a bulb size for that specific headlight.

just follow you vehicle manual, it' easy. BUT, do not touch the bulb with your hand/fingers. In case of accidental touch, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and NOT glass cleaner ;-)
