            Be careful with the 100W. That will offload a lot.of power to the rectifier. Better to.go off with a lower power one but perhaps warmee.

              Ehr, the rectifier burns uo unused current, so the more you need the easier a life it has.

              But the stator cant cope with 100W so the light will probably be dimmer than a 65w

                  @britshgigolo The OEM bulb is only 45W, I had a 55-60W white bulb in mine before I switched to the 100/90W one. Even the 55W was an improvement over the stock bulb, which was more like a crappy house bulb and not the regular car type ones. But obviously not as good as the 90W. Which I ran with no problems on my DTR, but then maybe some problems would surface over the long term? Only time will tell I guess???

                        would these not be the same as the ones posted above where the light is scattered and blind on coming vechles because of the reflecor

                          My standard headlight was really good!? Just not a bright white, Ran its original bulbs for years,

                          Keep it real

                            The headlight on the RE is really good too I thought. Even better when I bought some decent Xenon bulbs from Ring
