Can these handle the heat from a 100W HID?

Yes, there is no problem. These are all glass. Just make sure the lamp socket can handle the 100 W HID.

Not sure what the equivalent wattage or heat dissipation spec is but they are bright as hell. I never really touched them after long usage. On my Camaro, they're being used as DRLs. They are much, much brighter than the bulbs car came up with.

Yes, indeed! They DO GET hot! Don't touch. But they don't emit heat like incandescent bulbs do: ie they are cooler in that regard.

Not really. Higher wattage bulbs can cause the overheat relay to trip. I had to replace one light that kept doing that, but all the others will stay on for at least a couple hours without tripping.

yes, but they will not be HID. You have to cut the plug from the hid ballast and use it for the low beam.

I have not measured the heat output between the two bulbs and I have not had any heat problems. My guess on the heat would be the same or less. They are way brighter than the 24W bulb and I am happy with the light output.

I have used them on two IC rated can lights with 65 watt Halogen with no issues. They will not burn. I've installed 24 of them

The ic rating is usually only concidered a factor when using incandescent bulbs.....because they emit a lot more watts = heat. These LEDs don't get hot at all! I left them on for many hours, after the initial install, and checked to see how hot they were and they were still slightly above room temperature.

No! The LED units, while not cool during operation, is no where near as hot as the halogen bulbs that I replaced.

Interesting question. I have used 100 watt bulbs with this kit and not had a problem.

Yes, but expect your headlights to burn through anything in front of them...these cables actually AMPLIFY power going through them due to their low loss design.

It depends on weather or not your light housings can handle the extra heat. 55W yield more light, but at the greater cost of heat and use more current.

I have been running 35w and have had a couple of the sockets burn up but I installed ten and had the issue with 2. Not sure they would handle 50w

A 105w CFB should be fine as they produce significantly less heat than incandescent, halogen or the likes. And this particular bulb holder uses a ceramic socket inside it to deal with heat issues without melting, that's why I use them. But as always, YMMV.

I think that claim is as some kind of equivalent value. No problem with amps or heat. Do have to say they are extremely bright and white! Like them!

If you mean normal incandescent 100 watt bulbs, of course not. I would assume you could use the same type fluorescent bulbs that come with the unit as they do not produce much heat. The key would be in the heat output of the bulbs. Normal bulbs would melt the covers, the fluorescent bulbs should not have any wattage limit as they should remain cool.

I use 55w hids with a high 4 relay. The beams are nice the housings are the third set I've had and the only ones I've been happy with so far I also bought them as a possibility to do real projector retrofit in the future.
