Just upgraded my high beams with some nice 100W globes.
I grabbed a 20A fuse, 30A relay and some 10A wiring.
What I forgot to grab was some 8mm spade connectors for the headlamp spades.

What I have been forced to do is use about 50mm of the factory wiring coming out of the original headlamp plug, since the shops were closed and I had already started cutting up the wiring before I realised my mistake.

Once the job was complete, I tested out my high beams for about 5-10 mins. In that time the little bit of factory wiring got warm, but not worryingly so.

I have a 30A fuse holder (20A fuse) with associated heavy wiring feeding a 30A 5 pin relay that feeds the two 100W headlamps via 10A wiring.

Question is this - Can I get away with using my high beams for an hour and a half on the run into work for a few days?

Shops are shut tomorrow so its going to be a few days to a week before I can fix the situation.

I put 90/100 bulbs into the standard wiring and after 10 years of ownership the only thing was that the light dipped in brightness when the A/C kicked in at idle.
