I think you need to research this a bit. Originally Posted by Calvin

The alternator in the infiniti is only 120 amps. If the high beams were on you would not have enough power left to run anything else.
Using Ohm's Law: http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/page2.asp#9
130 watts (bulb published) / 13.8 VDC (Nom.) = 9.42029 Amps
13.8 VDC X 55 amps (draw) = 759 Watts off power.
I was under the impression that the output wattage these aftermarket bulb manufacturers state is just a marketing ploy. They're trying to say that they're bulbs draw a certain amount of wattage, but are able to put out the same intensity/brightness of light as a bulb that draws a higher wattage. Am I wrong to ignore that #?

The headlights in this discussion are bi-xenon. That is, there are no dual filament bulbs here. The cutoff shield in the projector is attached to a solenoid. When activated, the solenoid flips the shield down to allow all the light to pass through. I know dozens upon dozens of people/members on this forum that use 55 watt fogs. I have yet to hear any problems.Originally Posted by Texasscout

k to summarize - looks like nokya is the yellowest by a bit but luminics produces more light output?
also, just wondering if you guys were comparing to the piaa plasma yellow? this is a pic of my friends m and they look pretty yellow.

anyways, thanks for the info. trying to decide to a true yellow myself.

The PIAAs are not even remotely close. I had a set too on my Max.

overwattage? bulbs are still 12v 55w input just like stock. the output may be higher or lower but that wont cause any damage.

I got my Nokya H1's last year, and they lasted about 18 months before one of them burned out.
I never had a chance to compare them in person to the Luminics, but I was very pleased with the Yellow color they provided.
I'm ordering another set tonight.

thats what you think until you see a couple of burnt up harnesses.
yea output/draw is a lot higher then stock. the bulbs are 55w going in but the output is like 100-120w, the watts drawn in order to get the output is about 100w.
so far a lot of people are stating no problems with harnesses so thats great to read.
