[W126 Coupe] Maximum bulb wattage for Bosch Euro Headlamps

[Shayegan, Richard]

MB predicted people would get overwattage bulbs and makes relays for the cars? I know Daniel Stern also sells 40amp Hella relays (could have sworn he told me Bosch but I just checked the website and it says Hella), so you if you are going to be ordering from him anyways, might as well also get the relays from him.

I'm running the 90/130's in my Euro's right now..haven't upgraded the wiring/relay yet but plan on it.  I've left the back of the lights off in an effort to keep things a bit cooler..I have also been checking the wiring daily and feeling the wires to see if they feel overly warm/hot..  So far so good, but I don't keep the high beams on but for a minute or two w/o dropping to low for a bit..  

I can get the part #'s from my black coupe on the relays so give a ring if you like, I have the car w/ me today.
