Hey guys, we're gonna do some country driving and the missus doesn't like the look of spotties etc(happy wife, happy life ;))is it safe to use 100/55 watt h4 globes in the semi sealed lights in the express? Will the wiring be sufficient or do I need to install a separate relay(much like for a set of spotties?) I have used 100 watters in other cars with no issues. It is a 1998 express with the single lenses.

Cheers!

Hmm, tough question, you MAY be ok with the stock harness but you never know really. I may be best to sort a relay system out under the bumper or something. The lamps themselfs should take it no worries.

There are some after market lamp units out there that may give a better lamp pattern:

Or you could go with HID lamps, i recently fitted a set to a Volvo with impressive results :)

I'll do a quick check of relay/fuse sizing to see if they(mits) have allowed for any increased current, if they have I'll give it a go.

Otherwise I might just get spotties on a numberplate mount and use an anderson plug so I can put it on when we go on long trips and just take it off when I don't use it :)
