[W126 Coupe] 1990 560 SEC- headlamp bulbs

[Louis Miller]

No doubt they are 9003s. Can you get the 9003s at 100/90W?

If he has 9003 they have to be European, the US version take 9004, those I have in 80/100

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.
