you may need to upgrade your fuse rail if you fit more powerful globes. (learnt the hard way, melted fuses) a bloke on ebay does a good fuse fail conversion and looks good. just do a search i am sure he would be still selling them. i have 60W bluevision and 100w high beam globes in mine when the fuse pannel melted so i would sugest an upgrade. not only the high beam melted but the lowbeam fuse also.
goodluck.

Yeah I gotta adjust my headlights as well after I washed the lenses when my front end was off, put it all back together and its OK but pointing too low. project for the week while my cars off the road. mine don't have a blue tint but they put out a much whiter light than the candles that were in there.

i was lucky with mine. it melted the fuse completley. all there is is the melted plastic from the fuse and the wire is still pluged in. it was still working before i wrecked the car. (am wrecking it at moment) i was i guess lucky.
goodluck mate

yeh, the philips blue visions and crystals aren't "brighter", but they look it from oncoming and are just a nicer light to drive with, less strain on the eyes.
