The wiring is good for a bit more than the stock rating, so 55/60W would be no problem. I'm not a very keen advocate of high power lamps - you can generally make things a lot better by ensuring all the wiring, connectors and bulb-holders are in good clean condition, including the earth wires. You can even run a separate thick (fused) wire to feed direct from the battery. There's something to be said for additional 'spotlights' run separately with their own relays and switches, aimed to improve lighting and aimed so they don't dazzle or switched by the main or dipped beam relay as needed. However, I don't generally drive fast (only normal highway speeds) or on rallies so I don't really need extra lights. I'm sure Toby, Per, Brian etc will have more useful input to supply on this topic! Cheap tinted bulbs are generally considered the least satisfactory, and would have to run at a higher wattage to make up for some of the light absorbed by the tinting. Dave.
