European Headlight bulbs
 
Which H4 is best? Silverstar or Hella for my 86' 560SEL?

I found some high 85/90 watt Hella bulbs. They were from a buy-out of an older shop, I don't know where to buy them...

They are awesomely bright in my Hella Euros.

i have silverstars in mine and they are great, be careful when going to higher wattage with the europ lights that have adjusters, doing so can melt the arm that controls adjustments

I am not going with higher wattage. I just wonder if the white light would be hard to see in wet surfaces. Right now I have Orasm sp? silverstar in my car. They are bright yet not as bright as I like them to be.

are they adjusted correctly? how are your reflectors? usually the euros are very adequate
