Good question. I was planning to replace the 55w bulbs with 100w bulbs but I hadn't got as far as doing the maths yet...
Lets see, 200W, 12V, that's about 17A isn't it Means the fuse would need to be changed.
Question is - does anyone know if the LR wiring and relay would be up to this

BCB yes 17A is right on the maths
I had mine excellently wired by a well known member of this forum I hope he allowed for that current draw on the cabling... not sure what rating the relay was either

The LR wiring is rated at 20A with a 30A relay so a fuse change to 20A (although you should really be doing the calcs at 14V) will be OK
TazDaz, your wiring is rated at 25A with a 30A relay

260W @14V is only 18.6A you should be OK

The Lightforce does not hold such prejudice like your good-self Mr. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

TazDaz - can't remember TBH, either H1 or H3 - this will be marked on the lamp (bulb) itself along with the wattage.... screwdriver time I think
