Default Wouldnot recomend them on your car

lal Naja Art I want to give you a couple of reasons for not running this high a bulb.
#1 Most states allow a 55/60W limit on bulbs any thing higher and you can blind people ahead of you driving at night. NJ hands out tickets for this. The blue zenion lights the cops love to see unless they are in MB,BMW, or Honda.
#2 heat is big in the small area they are in, melting buckets if run a long time is common. I have tried all kinds of ways to control this problem. At highway speeds the heat is removed enought to not melt things. No air flow like stop and go traffic and they cook. Drilled holes into the lens, the problem here is if you run in the rain or get condensation in the lights, I drop of water will blow the bulb if hot. Condensation also happens at night and after to turn off the lights and like you said the hot air goes out the top and the cool air comes in the bottom and you have water mist back inside.
#3 We talked about the wiring and relays.
#4 I do run illegal light on my motorcycle for 2 reasons, first driving at 75mph on some roads to help see animals at night. There are also some DUMB drivers out there that cut you off and say they didn't see you, not with my bike.
good luck with your decision, just remember the next dope that has illegal lights on in his car following you and how they cause you to have driving issues. These lights where for off road ONLY usage It states it on the box they are sold in. Rick L.
