soz crossed posts Neil.

Usually H4 fitting for dip and main too. So many bright headlights nowdays don't think you'd get noticed if you did have higher wattage bulbs. When we were yoofs and everyone had dim glow standard bulbs 75/100w halogens stood out like a sore thumb, but now with all the HID and rainbow bulbs in all the golf's and Corsa's even 75w looks tame. :-)

As a legal alternative to high Watt bulbs, You can get a H4 60/55w bulb that is supposed to produce the equivalent of 140/130W. PIAA NIGHT TECH

I need new bulbs after one fell apart at silverstone last year, so might try those, or for ultimate power there are these 80/80W equivalent of 150/150W COMPETITION

Lokking at the price of those competition bulbs, the night tech ones look a much better option.

Hi Neil / Roberto

I have ordered Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited 55/60 which are supposed to shine 40m further down the road and give 20% brighter white light........... I will let you know

Cheers

Is the legal limit expressed in Watts or Lumens? The march of technology has dramatically changed the relationship between the two.

Can anyone identify/supply this high level rear brake light bulb?
I need 5.
Very indistinct markings DS3 or D83 one end?, 56T or 567 the other?

To be legal I think the bulbs need to be e marked The PIAA night tech have that, so are legal and the equivalent of 140W. I guess as most of the high watt bulbs are really aimed at competition cars the manufacturers just dont bother with aproval.
