I need a front bulb for my 85 but the honda shop here in town only has 86 bulbs..The 85 is 45/45 watts as the 86 is 55/60 i believe..Will it hurt anything if i run an 86? And im to lazy to go anywhere else to look for one HAHA :)

shouldnt be a problem at all, Im running a blue 80 watt in my 86R with no problems. In my experiance with light bulbs the only problem I have ever run into ( using a 135 watt bulb in my chevy pick up, stock was 65) is that if you go way to high it will melt the plug to the bulb, no electrical problems at all so far, im still using it in my truck but I had to replace the pigtail plug after a very long night drive. Hope this helps.
