Yep

[mindaz]

ok, thanks Rob 
will try

Just reach up to them from underneath. 1/4 turn and the bulb pulls out.

For the past few years I have run with 100w on main beam, with standard 55w on dipped.  Just uprated the fuses for the main.  Most Vauxhalls have seperate fuses for dip and main for each headlight. (ie 4 seperate fuses for haedlights). As a general rule of thumb twice the watts equals twice the amps.

found this

The conversion of Watts to Amps at fixed voltage is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts

That'll be your basic Ohm's Law at work.

 about 40yrs ago, I was learning about that. Now it will be 'if you and Zenab held etc

Remember, the fuses are there to protect the wiring (only), and should be the weakest part of the circuit for current.

Unless you have proved the wiring and switchgear is certified for the higher current, you should never up the fuse sizes.
