Wondered if anyone has replaced the stock 55w bulbs in the dealer added driving lamps with something like a 100w? Any heat issues?

I'd like to know the answer to this too.

I just had some OEM driving lights fitted to my 04.04 MCS during the week and even though I'm actually pretty happy with the light output you can always have more.

So, any problems with running 100w globes???

Cheers Liam

Bad idea. Good chance of frying the wiring, Wiring is designed for LEGAL 55 w bulbs, not illegal 100w bulbs for the road (not talking offroad).
