xenon headlights

[quake61]

hi i was looking forward to install xenon headlights instead of factory headlights

but last time i did that with my 94 cav they burned my switch

the autoparts clerck told me the wattage of those lights were higher than the factory lamps

problem is i dont know how many watts the factory lamps are so i can look for a match

if anyone knows please let me know

is a cavalier 2000 thanks in advance

I haven't had a problem with mine burning out.

I have seen "conversion kits" that include a relay along with a thicker gauge wiring to handle the higher current larger bulbs require. You may want to explore that route as well. Don't forget that more watts usually means more heat. There isn't a whole lot of room inside those headlights...
