H4 Headlights Options

[Cal]

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.

LED bulbs don't really work well, I'm going with a full unit.
They look more like this...whatever the original version of this was, tons of knockoffs now:(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.revzilla.com-50-1641919718.1.jpg)

Bought some of the bulbs Vintage LEDs was selling for H4 housings, but have yet to install them. Been waiting for a proper, dedicated LED 7-inch round headlight like the one above but without the bar or other modernizations to say they're LEDs.

Yeah, they're pop-up lights, but everyone's got their ticks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Having run Spoke's LED brake lights with white boards for a while, it's possible to modernize with nearly stock looks…and very, very worthwhile. Having run both 55/60 and 80/100 bulbs in H4s, don't bother with either if you have been spoiled by many (or any) modern cars.
