[W126 Coupe] Maximum bulb wattage for Bosch Euro Headlamps

[Shayegan, Richard]

E-mail him (products at danielsternlighting.com) saying I want to buy some
bulbs, he'll send you back a form e-mail telling you how you can order
via phone or e-mail.

I don't think Daniel will even sell you the 100/130's if you tell him
you have stock wiring. Get the narva rangepower +50's or do relay's and
thicker wires (IIRC the stock wiring is 16 guage...maybe 14) and get
high wattage bulbs (compared to regular H4's, the low beams are like 80w
regular bulbs (the high beams don't see big gains in intensity, but they
do have much further throw).

I don't think 100w white bulbs will be of any use in the fog at all.

Just to confirm a couple of questions before ordering H4 & H3 bulbs
today for (3) MB's with euro headlamp assemblies...

 

How do you order from Daniel Stern?  They have no on-line order system
or do you Google for Narva and just buy anywhere???

 

Can I use the Narva 100/130 H-4's in the Bosch Euro assembly without
overheating the assembly or the factory wiring?

 

I am going to use the selective yellow H-3's on the (2) sedans at
55watts since that seems to be the highest wattage with the yellow.  I
see there is an option to go to 100watt but this is not selective
yellow.  If I use the 100watt H-3's in Bosch headlamp again, no harm to
enclosure or wiring from heat??

 

Thanks,


Dick

 

and I have no interest in the Xenon set-up.
