Hello All!

I have a burned-out headlight on me 93 LE.  So, I think...should I
upgrade my headlights now?  I have read the MiataNet reviews, but I have
a few questions...

(1)	what is the DOT-approved (i.e., legal) max wattage?

(2)	what is the maximum wattage that I can use without having to worry
about blowing fuses or frying OEM wiring (I do not want to upgrade the
electrical/wiring system)?

(3)	what is the life-expectancy of the somewhat pricey Hellas?

BTW, I do drive a good deal at night, and like driving on country roads,
but I do not want to blind on-coming drivers.

Any other advice on headlights is welcomed...many thanks!!!
