   in my standard head light bulbs i had some philips sportz blue bulbs, (80w/100w) and they were awesome, all be it illegal
   
   anyway, the bulbs i have with my angel eyes now are useless! they are so poor and i'm now noticing it with the dark nights and the bad weather.
   
   i was told that the sportz blue i had get quite hot. i was wondering if anyone knows, or if anyone has got them in there angel eyes, and if they are ok with the lenses of the light unit etc
   
   thanks a lot, matt

   yeh i know what bulb fitment they are, what i'm asking is will the extra heat be ok for the lenses etc.
   
   55w to 100w is a big difference
