Default headlight question

I found a Hella 200mm e-code headlight kit with 60/55W H4 bulbs on amazon and I would like to know if this is a plug and play replacement for my 92 or does this require a wiring harness alteration?

Dunno........the old lights were worn out. So yes, the new ones are brighter than those.

You are good like that. But if you add some wires and relays you can go much brighter bulbs. Take a look at Daniel Sterns website for more info. I went with cibies and 90 100 and what a differance.

Thanks for the info, I am waiting on my order to arrive and see how I like the results, then decide if I want to go to the higher wattage.
