[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1445568, member: 19880"] The package says 60/55W which is pretty much standard for a halogen H4. Says 50% more light and that usually translates to (much) shorter lifetime. If I wanted more light, I would go to LED lighting rather than high-output bulbs. Added bonus of LED is lower current draw. There are higher wattage halogens available in H4 (i.e. 100/80 W) but I wouldn't put them in my FJR without using a relay to power them on an independent circuit. (Might not be legal for on-road use.) Could blow a fuse (or smoke a ground connection). Not to mention cooking the reflector assembly or socket not designed for that much heat dissipation. High Wattage H4 (wouldn't recommend!)
