H4/9003 wattage - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisFan007 · 04-15-2009, 01:25 AM

Of course the wattage for the Yaris LB is 60/55 watts...
Just to confirm, replacing those bulbs w/ 100watts will melt/damage the harness, correct?

..the reason i ask is because a lot of the PIAA bulbs that I like have higher wattage.

Are you guys using hyper white? cool blue? HIDs? ..if so, what should i use?

I have excellent results using Osram Silverstar H4 and Philips Vision Plus H4.

As step up would be Osram Night Breaker H4 and Philips X-Treme Power H4.

Check them out at http://www.powerbulbs.com/.

silverstars are good, but u gotta get the white ones, not blue. but no lifetime. i'd run some OEM replacements.

but lemme tell u this, any bulb that isnt clear, is tinted. and tint blocks light. and if light is being blocked then you arent able to see it. also, all those 'blue hid' bulbs and stuff look like crap in the light housing when the bulbs arent on.

second, anything that's over the OEM standard wattage is illegal. and there's a reason for it, because it's bright for other cars on the road. so stick with 55/65 and you'll be fine. also try adjusting ur lights. in MOST cases that's the problem.
