    New Headlight bulbs

    Has anyone been able to get the right angle 2006 bulbs into our housings?

    I want to try some 80w bulbs, but they apparently only come in the 90 degree plug angle.
    2007 Charger, Sublime Green # 0107 (US)
    Fogs enabled w/ High beams, Underhood Light, Cabin air Filter, Hood Struts, Glovebox Light, uConnect mirror (w/o telematics at this point)

    80W, yikes that's a lot of current! Might want to check to see if they will even work on our cars first, the computer sensed those voltages and regulates the headlights with those inputs.

    Don't do it!!! I used 85w bulbs and burned out the factory connector... Plus the 90 degree bulb will not work. Get the 9006xs bulb.

    You might consider HIR bulbs also, IMO they are twice as bright and use the same amount of power and cost a lot less than HID

    Tow package, Midnight Blue, Painted spoiler body colour, Auto headlights, HID lows, Fogs on with Hi beams, SC flash with custom tranny and 91 tune, RER MyGig installed, Tranzformer, Resonators deleted, Custom Stainless intake.

    Another vote for HIR's. Unfortunately I do not know of a source that works on the Charger, which has those stupid 90-degree bulbs that neither the C or the Magnum have.

    I had Sylvania ST's, were ok, then I had HIR's, brighter, but not by much and too yellow for my taste, not worth it, now I have HID's, I'm never going back, from now on every car I and my wife own will have HID retrofit, there is no comparison, HID is just so damn better, and for less than $200, it's worth every penny and some.
    HID flickering fix.
