Not only do the brighter bulbs annoy oncoming drivers but they can be a real
nuisance to those being followed. A reality is that our original lights are
terrible in part because they are shot. Even if they look OK sand abrasion
and stuff has destroyed the lenses on the outside and the bulbs burning have
covered the lenses and reflectors on the inside. Back when lights were OEM
lights were still available I have installed some new sets which made a huge
improvement.

Stock wattage is 55 watts. And it is plenty of wattage, when directed well.
The round headlights or the eurospec rectangular headlights place the light
in a usual place in front of the vehicle.
I hate the super bright light folks (aka 90 100 watts) that some folk slap
on their cars. Number 1 they are illegal, Number 2 they blind other drivers
(like me), which is VERY unsafe.
