Keep a close watch on your lenses. I think what will happen if they get too hot is that the lenses will look like they are hazed...but in the center of the plastic and not on either the outer or inner surface.

100w high beams

The high beam relay will need to be increased to handle the 16 amps that the lights will draw. Its relay no 8. I used a 22 amp unit.

Don't leave the lights on high when the car just sitting, the heat will cook the reflectors.
