i go em off ebay..good price...these 9006 - 80watt and 9005 - 100 watt while stock is 9006 - 51 watt and 9005 - 60 watt...the bulbs also came with white grease that u put in the connectors..i jus checked em and the grease has turned pink but no melting noticeable anywhere

my only question is can i be sneaky, put in my stock ones, take to dealer and get em to get me new headlights...

 

^Ouch that looks pretty bad. It's worth a shot I guess.

 

Yes it will look sneaky. You should know better than to put 100w bulbs and stock bulbs wouldn't generate enough heat to melt that little reflector piece.

 

...sooooo id look like a jackass if i went in n asked em t replace under warranty eh?


i jus barely got a job so im on a reeally low budget what can i do...my only other option right now is to bake headlights and maybe paint chrome on those spots?

 

I believe you would.
But does the discoloration reduce the brightness noticeably?

 

not that ive noticed at all......i put all the stock bulbs back in including takin out the leds n put the oranges in...jeeesus its whack lol its like watchin hd then goin to retro 80's tube tv wit tinfoil'd antenna

 

ive had 100 watt bulbs in my low beams for a while now.......

 

my lo's were the ones that were 80..my high were 100...i think it burnt it also because the bulb sit a lil bit higher up closer to that plastic piece than the stock bulbs..the 1st set i got from a diff guy were all ****ed up 1 bulb was brighter than all the rest..and all of em were off center..

 

you should be fine, just put an HID in there and fire it up. it shouldnt melt anymore. If it was your fog lights then the entire thing would have melted in to one hunk of metal and plastic.

 

ya but that doesnt fix what already happened i needa shower then its off to the dealer

 

good luck but just so u know usually any damage to any part of the healight requires a whole headlamp replacement. i speak from experience thee cost like $650

 

OEM cost of a headlight assembly is like 460 to 600 dollars PER piece here in Canada

 

yikes

 

ya he was sayin like 400 a piece..i dont get it when the evox projectors r like 1000$ for both? neways he said the chrome on that piece has nutin to do with how much light it reflects its jus there to keep the light from going off to the sides. gotta go in tomorrow to have the manager approve it

 

evo X projectors are $1100 each. I checked the other day at the dealer
