I was wondering whats the highest wattage bulb you can put in the 500s without melting the housing? I wanna replace the 55w with some 100w or even 130w if it wont melt the housing

thanks

I know Kugellager put 100w bulbs in his, ran each light off a relay IIRC. I think that is the highest wattage I would want to try in those plastic housings.

Send Hella an e-mail and ask them. Might work.
