Hi all, was wondering if anyone new if the 100/90w globes where safe to use in the VX headlights?
Seeing as they're poly carbonate(sp?)lenses I didn't want to discolour the lenses or melt them if the globes where too hot...

Any one know?


cheers

Don't do it. Commodore headlights are good enough anyhow. (I'm assuming you're running genuine ones, have been in a car with aftermarket ones and they were aweful).
