Has anyone installed these high brightness bulbs in a E46, the bulbs have a
blue coating. With them being 100w I was concerned about the
wiring/switch/relays and also the lens of the headlight unit is plastic. I
presume they must be ok, but would welcome peoples experiences longer term.

Thanks

Depending on vehicle there may or may not (ford and vauxhall i have personal
experience of?) a relay. Some route lights directly through the light and
dipswitch and the plastic next to the contacts melts. New switches are very
expensive!

I ran em for years in a Pug 405 and a Rover 600, and never had any problems
at all. Both headlight fronts were glass, but the continuous airflow always
kept the lights cool to the touch. Obviously there might be some heat
buildup if you're stationary for an excessive length of time...
