On my '02 AC 500i, I removed the front light bulb (which was 27w) and brought it to my local UAP-Auto store. Within 1 minute, he had it matched and asked if I wanted at 27w or a 50w bulb (with the same socket). For low beams, I run with 27Ws. For high beams, I run with 50Ws. When all lights are ON, you'd think I was driving an airplane with its landing lights on. That's how much brighter the 50ws are - and I didn't even have to upgrade the wiring or fuse. Simply plug in and "away we go".
As a suggestion, remove your bulb and try the same trick. Worked great for me.

No problems with heat build-up on our 2002 500i. Perhaps its the lower climate in my area that helps. Perhaps its the large volume of space around the bulb that helps. Not too sure.
I do remember reading a post about a guy with an 2004 AC (I think) who upgraded his head light bulbs and the next thing he knew, the lens on his AC melted. For us, our 2002 "High Beam only" upgrade has been working great.

Could you please tell me where you bought the 50watt #881 bulbs? The auto stores around here act like they never heard of such a thing. I have a 2005 Arctic Cat 500 that needs the upgrade on the lights. Thanks a bunch.
