I have 6 volt system, perhaps the oversized wire is protective of the sockets, I think it is 12 gauge, I don't think high wattages are needed if the bulb/ reflector/lens match, I have been studying different headlights, and will try some HID bulbs, the Mercedes headlight without lens is H4, it has a plastic connecter, and it has not been a problem, looking at the reflector for the H4 it has 2 different curves. The center1/2 is for the high beam, the outer area for low beam, the shield on the bulb only allowing light to go to the upper part ---- I have concluded that the H4 bulb is not suitable to original reflector

I have a "order" in with some local body shops to get some factory led headlights to study
