I'm considering updating my sealed beam headlights with period correct H4's. What's the maximum wattage bulb that can be installed without having to install relays? In the past I've installed H1's with 100/80 watt bulbs in my early SWB 911 and I needed to install relays. I'm not interested in LED lights.

Although my objective may be different; don't care about originality, just wanted to "see and be seen". The 914Rubber upgrade is wonderful. Head light brightness is pretty much equivalent to a modern vehicle.
All of the Spoke LED products are good as well. |
