I have a very important question:
I have people screaming at me that 45W bult does give better light than 65W one. 65W will definately get fused early.
While the bulb fusing part is understood as the 65W bulb will emit more heat, giving less light is not understood.

Can anyone educate me...?

The original Cabiler ( 7.7 bhp ) came with 45W Normal ( i..e not halogen ) bulb. I went ahead to fit in 65W M800 bulb. I was warned that connector willl melt and wires will not be able to take the laod. But 65W halogen worked fine for more than one year.
Can I do the same with Suzuki Zeus? Here also I am warned that the wiring and the connector will not be in a position to support that 60/65W bulb and will melt. But I am simply not satisfied with the present level of lightning offered by my bike. I want to fit in H4 60/65W.
Can I do this. Has anyone earlier tried this?
Help
