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!!! Alex Nunez 93 LE- "Perrito", who's looking with the left eye closed 92 B Blue- "Baloo" Annapolis, MD
