  Do you have euro lights or US?  I have the higher wattage ones on mine, but they are also euro lights.

    One of my head lamp bulbs just burned out. (Passenger side) When I went to get a replacement bulb at my local MB mechanic, he had only Sylvania Halogen 9003 bulbs with 60/55W rating.

    The bulb that came out of the car is a  9003 bulb, but with 100/90W indicated on the base, with the notation "Not for use in Europe." I didn't check the rating of the Driver side head lamp.

    I put the 60/55W bulb in since it's nice to have light at night, but I think I would like to stick with what was in it when I got it. 

    Am I OK with the 60/55Ws, or should I get the 100/90s. and if so, anyone have them available?

    Thanks.
