Check the legality of having 100w bulbs. Most are just for off road use. I think the max bulb strength is 55w for both main and dipped beam.

Can I ask why you would want 100w? 55 is PLENTY!

That would do for the short term, but you will need to buy some new headlights at the end of the year to be road legal.

55w isnt plenty though in angel eyes, they low on out put. Ive got £40 worrth of phillips bulbs in em at the min and its alright but I want the wow factor that I had with the 100w in my old car.
They are illegal but because they are white and not green or blue etc. i never got pulled over and my mums had them in her van for 3 years, so thats three mot's passed and she recomends them lol

Simple. Put the old bulbs back in and remove the ballasts.

Why would you be worried about it melting if you had them in your old car? and your mum had them for 3 years?
