na will be like http://www.narva.com.au/documents/item/45
still the 60/55w but brighter than standard without the excessive heat and current draw of a 100/90w

i put the plus 100 in my surf, and where a upgrade, a whiter light and brighter.

Either buy a headlight relay loom kit, or make it up yourself than you can run higher wattage bulbs and not melt the factory wiring.

The +90 or +100 bulbs do put out better light than the std bulbs.
