Default Hella optilux Xenon Bulbs - Two Options ??????

Anyone have expereince with the Hella H7 Optilux Xenon White bulbs or Opinions? They offer the standard 12V 55W bulb and then the 12V 100W bulb. Hella Warranty is good on the 55W bulb only(not that it matters to me), but will the Projector housing on the A4 take the heat of the true 100W Bulb??? It isn't the slogan of 55W=110W crap, this is an actual 100W replacement bulb. Do you think there will be any problems??<p>'99.5 A4 1.8TQMS

Sparkster, No experience with the 100W bulb but I do have the 55W Optilux in my car. During the day, they look pretty normal, not bluish like the Super Whites. At night they are brighter and whiter with a very, very tiny hint of blue. I am very satisfied though disappointed to see that despite the warranty they are made in Korea.<p>Arun

Default Just my opinion, but I would stay away from the 100 watt bulbs.

I have Eurolite Xenons of the 70 watt variety. During my research, I think it was the general feeling that there could be problems with the bulb casing melting on very high wattage bulbs.
