HI,
Is anybody using 100W H7 instead of the standard 50W head light bubs in the non xenon (obviously!) in the E60? Is there potential problem with the higher power drain and higher temperature? I do not want to melt the cables nor the bulb holder or the reflector. I have looked into after market HID xenon conversion kits but found none that can be used with the "unique" E60's H7 bulb holders. So, the only way to get more and whiter lights, is to fit 100W light bulbs it seems.

Thanks,
Wlodek

 

I installed mine with aftermarket HID. Works beautifully!
A 100w H7 might melt electrical wire which may cause fire. Don't use it.

 

You can use super white bulbs with !00% more light they use the same 55w as for 100w melting wires etc this is incorrect I have used them for years without any problems in fact i have gone as high as 150w without any problems. If you can get h7 100w use them I am a bit sceptical about the 100% claim of the super white,s

 

Thanks for the input!

Can you confirm that you have been running 100w H7 bulbs in your current E60 for a significant lengt of time with no problems.
