Keep in mind that even the H5006 (brightest American light I found) was a 
35w/35w  light with the H5001 (high beam) 50 w. In theory the European 55w 
bulbs in a E-spec headlight is probably at least sorta legal since meet 
FMVSS 108 specs. (55w low/65w high) 100W lights are not. *Anything* over 
35w, particularly four of them, is going to need a relay and should wire 
for at least 20 amps (FSM shows 20 ga wire on grounds). Further even four 
65w high beams plus running lights, heater fan, engine load, and wipers is 
likely to overload a stock 10 DN alternator (37 amp rated, 35 amp max 
effective and only at high rpm.

So if planning to upgrade the lights, best to plan on upgrading the entire 
wiring and charging system.
