higher watt 9004 bulb
the stock replacement bulb for the 9004 units is 45w low, 65 high. i was thinking about using the 80w low/100w highs. has anyone used these bulbs and noticed a weaker battery because of the higher power draw? thanks

you would burn out
your socket and fry the harness.
Also the alternator supplies your running electrical needs not the battery.
check www.danielsternlighting.com
email Daniel and see if he has a suggested brighter bulb
or look at
9004SU SilverStar Ultra
I think nearly doubling watts is quadrupling heat and that is why you are limited in options.
