I wouldn't risk it, the 100W bulbs will draw more current - creating heat. If the wires are too thin they will overheat, melt and could start a fire.

The thicker the cable the better! Thumbs Up

You will need to switch the lighting supply via a relay as the switch depicted will not cope with the current draw of your lights alone. Best practice is to switch the earth of the relay. Presumably the relays are supplied with the loom. If so the anwer to your question is a resounding YES! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

stick a 40" or 50" light bar up there, lower power consumption and much better light Thumbs Up

I have seen the light, honestly after fitting Nolden headlamps I have never thought one single upgrade would be strong

Its Bi-LED so, high and low beam





My Roof Rack lights will be Hella 4000 Halogen

My Nudge Bar lights will be Hella 4000 Luminator LED
