100w, heat concern; maybe it isn't? Because HBs are typically run for that long? Also, because you'd use them at night, the air temps are cooler as well?

Let us know if you see anything happen due to heat. I've thought about upgrading mine to LED as well but DRL is the issue. I'd like to get something brighter and whiter but don't want to create a new problem that wasn't there

After leaving my car on jack stands for about a week (granted “while I was in there” to detail my wheels, and fender wells), I kept my OEM high beam H1 bulbs. After decided to get halogen ones, it turns out one of them was broken (Slyvania) out of the box! I didn’t even realize I had swapped out my original HID bulbs to OSRAM NBs, but for the hell of it, I swapped in the CBBs.

Also addressed some cheap LED bulbs that were flickering for the city lights, and also went back to halogen.

If anyone is looking for a promising PNP H1 LED solution, these look pretty good: https://www.diodedynamics.com/h1-sl2...ulbs-pair.html

Diode Dynamics seem to be a reputable brand in the industry. For now, I’m going to hold off as I spent WAY too much time on lighting. I’ve def become an expert on removing the fender liner and changing out front facing bulbs.
