I experimented with bulbs to get an idea what to use, and I can tell you I did melt a lens! The bulb I use, the type 89.

Ba15S Base - 13.0 Volt .58 Amp 7.54 Watt G6 Single Contact Bayonet (Ba15S) Base, 6.0 MSCP C-6 Filament Design. 750 Average Rated Hours. 1.44" (36.58mm) Maximum Overall Length (M.O.L.), 0.75" (19.05mm) Maximum Outer Diameter (M.O.D.), 0.75" (19.05mm) Light Center Length (L.C.L.).

It fits the sockets that I use, and the wattage doesn't melt the lens! I believe the original bulb is less. Maybe 5 watt? Can't remember, but I do remember that the original bulb specified by manufacturer was found in many other German cars. They are much more expensive than the 89, and not as readily available. They do however fit the socket I use to make the conversion. Both of those were bad for me...if your are not melting the lens, I think the problem is not current draw/amperage on the circuit. Did the bulbs simply have a broken filament?

I will add that my housings have passed several TUV inspections, and that I am very proud of!
