280SE W116, 500SEL W126
H4 60/55W or you can up the wattage to 100/90W for more light output, any higher though is asking for a meltdown
I've tried many, many different bulbs for my cars, blue tinge this, white light that
I've settled on Narva Plus50 bulbs, they're incredibly good at illuminating everything and there's no gimicky 'HID look' claims with them either
Forget the filtered, blue tinted bulbs, I've got a whole lot of them lying out in my garage, really I've got Osram, Narva, Philips, Bosch all high quality brands but with dumb 'Zenon look' claims to them, the worst one's I have are called Silver Max Opti-Blue, they have the most ludicrous amount of blue tinge to them I've ever encountered in a Halogen, the light is almost purple from some angles, very nice and impressive to look at but barely adequate when it comes to practicality...most of the filtered bulbs are pretty useless

Quite a few:)
I just run standard german Osram's..90/100 H4's and 100W H3's (fogs).
Makes Plenty of light.
The 91 has 100/130 (w/ upgraded wiring/relays) and true xenon fogs and to be honest it's Too much light @ times, ie when there are a lot of reflective signs it's almost blinding!
