Would it be okay to get the 80w/100w rally bulbs for use as full beam.
Its not like they are on all the time just for dark country lanes.....

Hope your gunna upgrade the wiring. Unless you like the risk of potential fire.

you need thicker wire and ceramic bulb holder if you want to run high power bulb. need to swap the fuse as well

I have a few SMDs in each side. It's pretty bright. Kinda like the R8 lights condensed into the corners.
