Can a higher watt. bulb (80/100) be used it the euro headlights if the wire it upgraded and relays used or will it melt the internals of the light assembly (like the vacuum height adjuster)?
Thanks,
Dan

Do you find your Euro lights inadequate with 55/60W bulbs? It might be a first. I'd certainly go with relays at the proposed wattage.

I Have Euros made by Depo. They are an improvement over the US lights but they still do not seem to compare to newer non-HID lights on today's cars.

On my 1984 500 SEL euro-spec I went from standard 55/ 65 W to 90/ 100 W without any real improvement. The light was "whiter" alright but did not improve the visabilty. On recomendation I changed the bulbs to 55/ 65 made by Philips (I dont remember the type though) and that really made a positive difference because the light pattern was really well defined.

If You want to I can check what the philip lamps are called?

The 90/ 100 burned out faster than the 55/ 65. Probably because of the higher temp that the higher output creates or it might have been a brand issue.

Good Luck/ Mikael
