Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

I also blew one of the 100W bulbs.

Bought two 55W to replace both, as I was worried that I may have burned out the wiring.

Luckily, it was just the bulb, however the wires/connection were showing the result of running the 100W bulbs, and the shielding had begun to melt slightly.

I would strongly recommend avoiding the 100W bulbs, unless you have redone the wiring already and are sure it can handle the extra wattage

Also, 55W is the standard, it is stamped right on the top of the headlight housing


Cheers!

I blew the 55w in the passenger side, so my guess is the folks at Malaspina Auto Parts sold me a unit with a short in it. Ah well...I won't be going back to them, not after the lousy service, attitude, and the rep that their "Import specialist" has in the community.

I'm going to have to cave and buy a set of Depo's one of these days.

The PIAA lamps were great though, very white, very bright. Expensive at $60/pair, but quality.
