..is it a gti? have u got spotlights?..if not ..take ur bulb out from headlight & take it to autobarn or supercheap etc & ask for a bigger one.. Stock wiring can handle it..:)

Late model Cars have extremely light wiring plus the plastic plug that fits onto the bulb will usually melt with 100/90 Watt Headlamp bulbs..

Buy Narva PLUS 50 Xenon gas headlamp bulbs --
they use the SAME amount of power that the standard bulbs use - but are 50% brighter on Low Beam and 20% brighter on High Beam plus they last up to 65% longer than a standard H4 Quart Halogen Bulb...

Just ask for Narva Plus 50 Bulbs... I recommend them *****

Hella & other brands have similar bulbs...

They are Unreal.... and around $30 a pair.. or less....
they do have two Bulbs on a card - they should be cheaper.

Thankyou its a 92 golf gti, and yes with spot light.. so there are 4 lights plus 2 fog light.

and how do u know what type of bulb i m using? sorry i know nothing about cars and this is my first car. So is mine using H4 bulb?

Or should i just go get Narva PLus 50 at autobam / supercheap? and they dun require different wiring?

As i did couple of searches.. and i found out there is a site talk about this, but i have no clue on how to fix it

here is the site:

i used to own one of these cars and i thought the lights were really good. i did however put 100 watt bulbs in the high beam lights and the fog lights with no trouble
