Default headlight wattage

whats the stock wattage of the headlights (high/low) and fog lights? (90GT) i believe fogs are 55w and headlights are 55w/65w? car had 80w/100w headlight bulbs when i got it, lucky i got them out with minimal melting of the headlight socket wiring harness which i replaced. i wanted to try those sylvania silverstar bulbs which i believe are 45w/65w but unsure if that even is their wattage or if they will burn anything.

It not legal to have headlights(low beam) that are brighter than 55watts. I didn't know you you could even buy brigher bulbs.

Chris
The silverstars are pretty nice headlight bulbs. They will not do any damage to the stock headlight wiring. I think they are 55/65watt for headlights and brights.
