can you fit 100W high power head light bulbs in the mr2?
are the wires amped with a 20?

They aren't road legal afaik. I've got some philips bluevision jobbies (50W).

However I know people who have run 100watt bulbs on the mk2 without problems

hi me and my friend have changed our headlight blubs with 100w off road ones. there not legal you also have to change the fuses to a 20w instead of the 15w

80/100's in the headlamps for two years, no problems. Very nice at night. No probs with MOT as intensity isn't part of the test, only colour and alignment.

Dan, try some +50% standard bulbs - they'd give you as much light and they draw less power. Autoexpress tested a load a while back, and Phillips Vision Plus came out top. Last year, the Halfords +50 bulbs came near top too - they're what I use in the Roadster and Mk1.

Agreed - I got some Osram Silverstar +50's from http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ - amazed at the difference.
