the max wattage of a driving lamp is not to be more than 55 watts"dipped and fog" there are no limits on your main beam

and the eu making on the bulb are for the shape of it ,,that why companys tell you off road use only

a higher wattage bulb will need more power to run it if the wire isnt up to the job its going to cost you
a fuse it to protect the wire not whats on it ""ie the bulb""

but the way a 55 watt bulb can pull 7.779 amps when its first switched on
a 100 watt bulb cam pull 14 amps when you switch it on

be carfull with upgrading bulbs if you up the wattage you will need a relay to keep things safe
