Default headlights

can you change the bulbs from 50w to 100w without installing additional relays? Can the original wiring take it? Does anyone know how to open the headlights for me to clean the lens?

nope, but cheap bulbs in the housing will bubble from the heat.

Default Wiring won't melt, but the relay is probably not up to the task. I assure you it is hotter than

under normal 55W operation. This can cause smoke or even a small fire.
