Default Back on the road and lighting questions

whew I thought I was going to be sick, 944 withdrawal. I found a reciept in my car from 11/02/2005 the last day I drove it. It was parked for the winter and then apart needing a timing belt. Yesterday my brother and I replaced the timing and balance belts, and installed the rennbay headlight harness (super easy to install!). The lights do look great, I'm running cibie e-code lenses and pretty low watt high quality bulbs I think they are narva, whatever Ice-Shark supplied me with. I would now like to go to higher wattage bulbs, what would you guys recommend? It's really nice to have the car back, it cranked a few times and fired right up. It now has a full tank of fresh fuel and the tires properly inflated. Don't think the full tank will last long . I'll post some fresh pics when I get home after work.
Happy motoring!

You can go with any 100w bulb if you want something more powerful for lighting. I have IceShark's full kit and the same e-code lenses, after i blew out the last 100w bulb he provided i used regular 55w Sylvania X-Tra vision (not that SilverStar stuff). Honestly i dont notice much of a difference between the two.

Thanks guys, not too bad for sitting for so long. All I did was dust it off. I've put about 170 miles on it so far, and after driving around more at night the lights are noticibly different, I had e-codes and h4s all along but no harness, just the harness with the same bulbs is a surprising difference. I would highly recommend the rennbay kit.

Go to a set of Narva 100/90's. If that still isn't enough light, add some relayed driving lights.

I need to add that to my list. Sounds like an amazing kit.
