Spyder	I've been looking around for a while for brighter xenon headlamp bulbs compatible with the prowler and all the products I've found are 100watt bulbs. I seem to remember that the stock bulbs are 60watt but I could be wrong. wouldn't 100watt bulbs cause overheating and damage the electrical system? I could use some advice in this matter. ------------------ 2k1 Mulholland -front and rear mud flaps -2inch blind-spot mirrors -chrome rear plate bracket -removed sun visors -custom transmission cooler cover
Mike Krehel	Spyder, A few people have reported problems with the 100 watt bulbs. Check this out: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002195.html Click here to do a search for more on this topic. ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com Click and see me go! Watch me light em up!
Spyder	thanks a lot. I think I'll not risk any damage and just leave the headlamps stock. ------------------ 2k1 Mulholland -front and rear mud flaps -2inch blind-spot mirrors -chrome rear plate bracket -removed sun visors -custom transmission cooler cover
SasyMama	Spyder I found some 65 watt White Xenon blubs in Detoit. Also Toucan Industries makes them too. You can find them on the web. No problems with them. Sassy
jd2ksilver	Hey Sassy, with your car being the last yellow?? I thought you were going to leave it alone?? ------------------ See me WAX a Roush See me WAX a Cobra CAR & DRIVER of The Month
Spyder	Thanks Sassy. Could you please post the item #'s? Again, all the bulbs I've found are 100 watt. ------------------ 2k1 Mulholland -front and rear mud flaps -2inch blind-spot mirrors -chrome rear plate bracket -removed sun visors -custom transmission cooler cover This message has been edited by Spyder on 01-18-2002 at 02:44 PM
ALLEY CAT	Spyder - The blue bulbs I installed are 65 watt, Xenon New Generation, EUROLITE - FUSION bulbs, made by Toucan Industries, part#9005 SB. Appox $20 cost visit www.toucanindustries.com Definitely blue light extending out front of my cat now, but not the blinding ultra bright light coming out of those Hondas, Lexus, etc. ------------------ Call 911 - there is a Prowler in my garage....

onaprwl	Spyder, Read the boxes good. The one I just got has 100wt real big but actually says 65 actual wats shows like 100wts. There ok. ------------------
BuddyBrad	I was just talking to a friend of mine about Prowler substitute headlight bulbs. He worked for GE Lighting for 20 years and was head of Marketing. I showed him the PIAA 9005 information and he said it's BS, "there's no free lunch." If you increase light, you decrease life and increase power consumption. He didn't recommend it and was afraid it could melt the housings. (These bulbs Halogen, not Xexon) What he can safely recommend is ordering the bulb used in the Viper's high beam and filing down the keyway bump so it fits our Kat's socket. This is a new, high-tech bulb that breaks the rules and puts out more light without giving off more heat and without using more power.
Alex	I have the same bulbs (65 watt) Eurolite bulbs Alley Cat has and got them on Ebay. You need four 9005's. Go to ebay and type: Xenon 9005 They will be there. Alex ------------------ 2001 Orange Plymouth Kat
BuddyBrad	Sorry, but I don't see how a 9005 can truly be Xexon. If you look at the aftermarket Xexon retrofit kit for our Kats, the kit costs $950 and includes ballasts and other electronics to fire the bulbs. It takes over 10,000 volts (I think) to fire a Xexon bulb and get it to light. If your Kat doesn';t have those kind of goodies under the hood, you're running halogen bulbs.
Alex	This has been covered before and yes if you want the REAL deal you will have to spend $800-900 a pair which comes with the ballast ignitors and the rest of the shooting match. And to do it really right you will need two sets. SOOOOOOO.... the guys are just saying you can get a whiter bluish bulb going the Euro Lite Xenon Fusion bulb route. They cost around $20 and are definately not a yellow light like the stock Prowler has. Whatever kind of gas they are filled with made no difference to me, just wanted the white/blue light without spending the hard cash. Alex ------------------ 2001 Orange Plymouth Kat
BuddyBrad	Hey, I'm not one for getting over technical. I see flashlight bulbs that say they are Xenon, so maybe not all of them need 1M volts to get going. The www.piaa.com web site shows the 9005 bulb (halogen) and I thought this is what Kat owners for the most part are swapping out with the stock bulb. The best price I have seen on those is $130/4. You can't beat actual testimony from users. If POL members are having good luck, that's okay with me.
