The socket says 51W,(low beam) i saw another post that mentions 45W
I was considering the Silverstars (55W) temporarly till i get the funds for the Euro's but i dont think it's worth it for 4 watts.

Don't just get the E-Code lense housings. Make sure you get a relay kit and the 130/90 watt Narva bulbs. On high beam, the Narva's put out more lumens than HID's, and with the E-Code lenses, they are focused properly.
They're called H4 Overwatts on this website, but they are Narva bulbs. I

Stock is 55W (low) and 60W (high) in the form of 9005/9006 style bulbs.
A factory wattage Euro upgrade is the same wattage, but the beam pattern distributes the light so much better that you'll think you gained wattage. Not only does the output spread out evenly over the road without hot-spotting like the US-spec lenses, there is a nice, sharp cutoff on the beam above horizontal, so that oncoming traffic will not see glare like with the factory US-spec lenses. The Euro spec lense uses an H4 style bulb (single bulb handles both high and low with dual filaments contained within this one bulb).
A high wattage Euro upgrade (at least the one we sell) contains 90W (low) and 135W (high) bulbs. This kit makes you think someone bolted a spotlight to the top of your car.
All of our upgrade kits are plug and play, there is *NO* wiring you need to do on your own, and we have kept improving our kit over the years to where all of our customers are still extremely happy with their kits and all have improved the safety of their night-time driving dramatically. I think this is the single best upgrade I ever did on my 2000 Coupe and then our PFYC.com 2003 Z06. Horsepower stuff is great, but this one is hard to beat for safety and comfort at night.
