I've seen several posts about folks swapping out the stock 27w bulbs with 50-55w bulbs. Anyone done this and had them in for an extended period of time? Issues? I worry about the plastic with the heat, and the wiring...
thnx

good question, I wanted to know about this too..

 

I have an 2002 AC 500i-auto and did upgrade its factory high beam 27w with 50w (???) bulbs. Bulbs from my local automotive store. I left the factory low beam bulbs as 27w. I've done night righting 4 different times, for up to 4 hours straight each ride, and the upgraded high beam bulbs worked great.

In the long run, not too sure of the outcome. Re: battery over drain or light casing melt down. But our upgraded high beam bulbs are running great so far.....

Hope this helps...

upgraded to 35 w bulbs on low beam & 50 W bulbs on high!

No problems!

 

I swapped out the stock 27 watters for 38 watt bulbs, no problems. Bulb #893.
