not sure what that means buddy? its for a clio 1.4 2002 dynaique plus link to bulbs --------- http://www.aceparts.com/upgrade-xen...-hyperwhite-headlight-bulbs-12v-100w-pair.htm im going to use them on my full beam!!
Megane R26 + 182
Well it'll be pulling 8.33A on a 10A fused circuit, you should be ok but consider a normal 55w bulb will only be pulling 4.58A and its not designed to use 100w bulbs.
Depends on the safety factor in the gauge of the wire used, which knowing renault won't be a lot. I don't think i'd be 100% comfortable using them, could have long term effects.

Why do you need brighter bulbs? the standard ones are fine
Megane R26 + 182
good enough answer. lol.
You want to try driving a dirty mk1 first then see how blessed you are!

What could happen if the insulation did break down?? Just put them in my car. looks great but im still nervous!!!
Yeh they are, lower than the dip beams. 15A for the dip, 10A for the main.
It'll short.

Yeah I meant is the drivers side fused separately to the passengers side Ben, or is 10A combined rather than individual?
Megane R26 + 182
Which means??? lol im not to car clever when it come to electrics! No longterm damge tho??? i hope!!!???
Oh yeah sorry, yes they are. Got an individual 10A and 15A for both side. Then the indicators and sidelights are on different fuses again just for the giggle.
Not really, will just blow the fuse. Try them and see what happens, is the only thing you can do if you dead set on using them.

Try them for like a week. Monitor your cables, if they start to knacker, then just change the cables to a thicker gauge..... i make it sound easy, but it's surely not that hard

If it starts to melt the cables I think I'd be more worried about my fried relay than replacing the cable!
lol, but i thought the output of the relay was fused, thats what the haynes manual says
lol
Shhh
How about..
Remove the supply to the buld, put this to a relay to energise it. Then from 'the battery - inline fuse - light' to supply it.
Short term mod, can ty-wrap the cable / loom into place, then review it in 6months etc.
Thinking.. 20amp relay, not alot of cable, few crimps, and hey presto..

It is, but if it's melting the cable then the fuse aint working and his relay will be frazzled

wouldn't bother, There isn't a need.

It shouldn't do any damage really, granted everything will be running at a higher level than designed but so long as the fuses etc are rated at 10A> as Ben says then you should be fine.
Main beam driving probably accounts for only about 10% of all night time driving anyway so don't worry.

i had them in my old clio. not a problem. look the same and noticeably whiter. cant remember the wattage but there were no problems over 8 months.
