Or maybe these clowns dont even know what wattage is and just wrote that in thinking it's gonna get them more sales... which it might very well do.
I can't find any more inof on this right now. Pro 1 is surely not manufacturing the bubls themselves... but I can't find a reference to that anywhere on the web.
But if it is safe to put higher wattage bulbs in (say 65 watts), it would make for a whole of a lot better headlight! Then again, two 50w bulbs only require an 8.3A circuit but two 65w bulbs require almost 11A. That's a big increase to the load on the circuit. (If anyone wants to correct me on these numbers, don't hesitate... it's been a while since my electronics classes)
The tolerance maybe at 15A... but it may also be only 10A. And there's no way to know what Mitsubishi have designed as a tolerance for that circuit. Companies only release the maximum recommended specs, not the internal tolerance overhead...
My conclusion for now: If the vendor is really selling higher wattage bulbs and the install requires changing the fuse, be very sure that they are a legit company and that they guaranty the product and the installation of a higher amperage fuse against damage to the electrical system.

So, IF the latter does happen you better swap back your old bulbs ASAP....heh
i dunno if this helps, but on the case the watts are: 12V 100/80W
and the link works for me
