I cant imagine 60/55W bulbs not being enough...I see every critter so far off. I even get people occasionally upset at me thinking my high beams are on. My lights are properly aimed too. I think folks would be militant with higher powered bulbs round here.

When I phoned Susquehanna Motorsports, as I said initially I was surprised that their prices were close to half that of most other sources. I was initially interested in 100/80W H4's.....their customer service was excellent, and the person to whom I spoke told me that 100/80W bulbs would not do as well, brightness and color wise, for spotting deer and such.....explained that the 85/80W Osram Hyper bulb has no blue coating and was closer to "daylight" and would show up the deer and other critters better.....very knowledgable in regard to their product line as well as application to MB W123's......I was very impressed, the person could have sold me what I initially inquired about and I would have been none the wiser.....
