Technical Lighting Issues

[ahmett]

Guys my low beam headlamps are getting too hot and are burning through the plastic both left and right. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks for the info i replaced them with normal h7 12 volt/55 watt lights. Arent they all the same?

My indie said its because you didnt fit bulb holder correctly dealer said lights too powerful.

In fact now i cant even take off one of the headlamps! I will wait for it to cool down before trying again.

Auto electrician basically said STOP DRIVING with your lights on all day every day!

Those bulbs do not have a UV filter. That's the problem.

Dealer asked 35 Euros to change the lightbulb so I said no thank you I will drive it until the lightbulb blows due to the excessive heat and go to my indie to change it as I cannot change it myself as the plastic thing holding it is stuck!
