Steen,

You probably are going to have to do a lot more than just change the bulb. Running 100 watts in your low beam is not a good idea. It is a hazzard to oncoming traffic and attracts those fellas with the black and white cars with the lights on top!

You should run new wires that will handle the current. New fuses and new realys also. Make sure your ground is good or you'll melt your wires!

Check out Dan Stern's web page, it will answer all of your questions. It also contains wiring diagrams. I hope this helps.

Regards,
