Mark:
The light output difference between the regular bulbs and 100w ones is not a
lot. The difference in expected life is. The higher output bulbs have a lower
life expectancy.
When I was running pro-rally we tried the high powers for a short while, then
went back to the lower output ones which had much better longevity and did not
tax the electrical system as much.
FWIW
