130w H3 bulb

[bigred]

Does anyone know where I can pick up a 130w H3 bulb? All of my local parts stores only have the h3 up to 100w..

For the hella 4000's right? I run the same. $8.99 I think its free shipping over $25.

IPF lights, but same thing. You're the man Dean. Thanks!

Welcome.

Are you sure they can handle that wattage? The Hellas are bigger and made of metal, and they are rated 130W according to the instructions.

Many IPF lights are all metal and they come with a 130w light from the factory. Mine did. I've also seen 190w bulbs in IPF lights with no problems.

My IPF's are metal, and came with the 130's..

 

[DeanBrown3D]

Anyone put 190's in the Hella 4000's?

rtiqulatendisco - my turn, where do you get 190W bulbs from?

IPF makes them. I don't have them but I do have IPF 90w/145w (low beam/high beam) in my headlights and love it.

There's a lot of great electrical supplies here:

Be very careful putting too large of a bulb in your lights. At some point you have to ask yourself where the point of diminishing return is. I would have to say 190w is beyond that point. You're asking for trouble.

well I thought I would be cool and ran 70/130 's in my brand new outback a ways back...they melted the refectors and the leads and one looked as though it was on fire at one point (when I discovered the problem)

guess I should quit at the 70/90's

Been running mine in my D1 for 4 years now and no problems. Also have the IPF high wattage wiring loom. I did replace one a while back when I cracked it in an accident.

I guess what I'm saying is "Is it worth it?" I have 6 100w hella's on my truck. I can't imagine that if I put 130w bulbs in them it would blow my mind.
