Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for the last couple of weeks as I've been doing my research to find a quality H7 headlight bulb upgrade for my 2007 Mazda 5 (non HID). I have narrowed my choices down to the Philips X-treme Vision or the Osram Night Breaker Plus... I'm currently leaning toward the Philips bulb.
Then someone through a cat amongst the pigeons and suggested I check out the Osram 65w H7 bulbs.
Three questions...
1. What is the potential impact of running a bulb that requires 10 more watts than the standard bulb?
2. Is my cars' electrical system even set-up to run that much power to the low beam bulb? (I know very little when it comes to electrical )
3. If the the bulb is that much higher of a wattage, why aren't other H7 bulbs offered in 65 watts? Does it emit an illegal amount of light for Canadian roads?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
