VectorLite bulb change

[alwilliam]

I have a 1.5million CP vectorlite that uses a H3-12V 75W bulb,can I change it to a 100 watt H3? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

yep.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif Right on,Is it worth the doing the upgrade?

That's arguable. Only 25 extra watts may not be easily visible. And unless you buy an axial filament bulb, the spot will look weird.

It would depend on how strong your battery is, and how heat resistant the rest of the light is. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif
A bigger bulb will in some cases glow only a little brighter and a bit more amber if the battery was only designed for the 75 watt.(not enough current capability).
A High performance grade automotive h3 55 however may actually appear whiter and almost as bright, but run a bit longer on the battery. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
It's up to you if you wanna give either a shot.
