Low Beam Hella H7 100W
Low beam light went out on my 2009 MB E320 and before buy a new one I decided to remove the old one to buy similar bulb or replace both of them.
The old one removed from the car was an Osram 64210S 12V 55W H7U made in Germany as engraved on the body of the bulb.
Not paying too much attention to the Wattage I bought two Hella H7 12V 100W
Should I use these bulbs of 100W to replace my old ones of 55W ?
Will be there any problem using these lights?
Thanks

I've put 100W bulbs in an older Benz headlights and the connectors were cooked a bit when it came time to replace them again.
Besides not being DOT approved for on road use, I'd strongly consider the impact of high amp draw on not only the connectors but the (expensive) electronics that drive the lights. You may also find that road signs become blindingly bright.

Thanks for your reply. Two other replies have almost the same answer
