    Lightbulb what is the wattage high beam

    the h3 high beam globes could any one tell me what is standard for them
    also if anyone uses brighter ones what experiences have been had, good and bad.
    pretty keen to get brighter ones maybe.
    also the h4 globes with higher wattage, is it necesary to increase these as well or just the highbeam h3's?
    any information be much appreciated

    stock usually 60w for the H3 and 55/60w on the H4's. i generally wire in relays along with some 6mm wire and step up to 100w H3 and 90/100w H4

    i found that no matter how high I went with the bulbs, the silver coating behind the bulb was not shiny enough to get out a decent amount of light, too much oxidation. oh h3 is standard 55w. there are bulbs out there that are the same wattage (so similar power consumption and heat) but give out more light, philips do a range and so do narva and hella I think
