I just got my girlfriend a set of projector headlights that use 9006 light bulbs for her 98 neon DOHC.... so what i would like to know is what wattage is safe to put on the front lights???????

Also, what is the fog light bulb number for this car?????

Stock wattage is safest. Read the bulb that she had in there stock, and it'll probably say 50w/100w or something. Thats low beam hi-beam wattage. Thats the safest. You can run 80w/100w or higher bulbs constantly. But I've found with certain brands that the bulb tends to bubble and blow out. The wiring just can't support it.

If you want to go brighter, your safest bet is to put a headlight harness that can take that type of wattage. They aren't cheap though. Otherwise, you'll be blowing through bulbs like its nobodies business. In the SRT-4, with higher wattage bulbs people always seem to blow out the right hi-beam first...then the right unit alltogether. Its a mess.

Sylvania Silverstars are the safest bulb to run stock with the best visibility for $50 a pair.

Good luck with em. Got any pictures?

 

i dunno wut the deal with these projector headlights are but they run 9006 12v 80w for the regular beam headlights and 9005's 12v 65w for the high beams.... as you guys know the stock headliht number is 9007 so this thing is sorta crazy[:-] so I might just try a 9006 12v 100w xenon lights and see if i can see an if it would work w/o heating up the wiring.....
WE'LL SEE[8D] and I'll try to get some pics on here if i get it right

I believe that because they are running 2 bulbs. The stock headlights run a high/low, in one bulb.
