Head light replacement
Hello Guys;
Not sure if this is being placed in the correct place, if not please feel free to move it.
Have searched the site but yet to find what im seeking, so hear goes my question.
Im replacing my head lights, the lights I have are 12v 80/85w and im wondering, are these gonna cause the SYS light to flash in the instrument panel?
Ive already gone through the steps of correcting that once after removing my stock radio.... I like these lights as they are much brighter but in addition the housing assembly is MUCH LIGHTER than the replacement sealed beams you buy at the local run of the mill part store...
Again, im trying to avoid the SYS light flashing issue.

Make sure there is no corrosion on the bulbs plug or in the harness under hood. Not uncommon to be tarnished at the connectors and it will overheat a plug with that wattage if the connector isn't passing 100% of the juice to the bulb! You're almost doubling the power draw, make sure your wiring is up to it, I've fried a bulb socket on a Tahoe doing just that.
