   Looking to buy this set of bulbs as one of mine has blown,

   But it says these are (60/55W) and I was sure xenon bulbs are supposed to be 100W?
   
   thanks

   100W bulbs are illegal. I used to have 100w but bought some 55W and can't even notice the difference. a good website is http://www.ultimatemods.co.uk/
   
   They do good bulbs and are reasonably cheap. I wouldn't go for the 100W becuase they can sometimes melt the wires due to the increased wattage. Hope that helps mate
