Hmm. I was under the impression that stock low beams were 50 watts and the high beams were 60 watts. Unfortunately, now you guys have made me second guess myself. :(

I have a pair of 80W Naxo bulbs that I wanted to use for the high beams that I got from Seth, and a friend of mine wanted to upgrade his stock highs on his Golf...
I know the wattage may be different from car to car, but I wasn't sure, gonna check my books tonight
