Headlight temperature? was created by Chris CW
Can anyone tell me what sort of temperature the headlights tend to get up to? Or the headlight lense to be more specific?

I dont have one... (!)
Dont want to paint it, just put some sealant around the lense as the paints starting to peel slightly (like the rest of the flipping car!)
Mine are 55w I think?

OK cool, but its transparent sealant Im actually putting on to stop the peeling spreading and to hold it down - its good for 205°C Ive just found out so should be all gravy :)

It should be OK if you're running standard 55w H7's with standard wiring, although on my old Golf I cracked two pairs of headlamps the bulbs ran that hot. 100/130w H4's with a direct 20A relay feed.

Could see where I was going though... ;)
