Default installing a freaking simple bulb

wow ares! forgot to ask the master. . it's a honda prelude.... im not fixing it up or ricing it out cause it's my dad's car, but the visibility at night is a pain. i think i can manage the socket types.. but questions i have are :

What type of watts should i use? I konw i'll probably burn out the housing if it's too high. i think prelude's stock watts are 55k.

Do i have to readjust the angle or something? Or is that when you do the whole HID conversion. (cause i saw the thread on the phillips 6000k HID conversion).. where you gotta readjust the angle so the light doesn't shoot in all different directions like a cross-eyed freak. Thanks

if its 55w stock, 55w is the most you can safely use. might be ok with higher, might not. youll find no bulb is really any brighter at 55w though.

as for adjusting, you can aim them up if you think they dont project far enough, but be careful you dont go too high and aim in the oncoming traffics eyes.
