snoopy0812 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi! I'm really new to the Forum, I'd like to know if anyone has installed Halogen-Xenon headlights in the Fusion? Due to the increased wattage is there a chance of damaging my wiring or headlight enclosure? Anyone experienced anything like this? The bulbs I have to replace my OEM's are rated at 170W, will this cause a problem? Any information will be a great help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is, Yes, there is a chance of damaging both your wiring and headlight enclosure. I believe the stock lights are rated at 55W, so a 170W bulb could both melt the enclosure and short out your wiring. I wouldn't risk it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenonfusion Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well if you want a halogen bulb with colored glass. You can get bulbs that use the same stock wattage. (55W i believe for h11) Try and get bulbs from PIAA, don't buy from sellers over seas (china, tiwan etc). If you want a xenon conversion kit (NOT HALOGEN) thats a nice way to go. I have a 8000k h11 (low beam) kit. I paid $63 total on ebay. It did actually come from China (made in Germany though) but i haven't had problems. Same price as some nice PIAA halogens. The only thing is that when you first turn them on (xenons) it trips a sensor on the car thinking you have a burned out bulb becuase it uses lower wattage. (this sensor is only on the low beam and flickers for the first 5 seconds and goes away after the xenon warm up to full brightness) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
