NO not listed or anything just get H4 for outer part of light which is DIP + MAIN BEAM, and you could also get 130 watt for the inner parts, as I have, so on main it wil step up from 330 watts main beam(total) to 520 watts, I also have my fogs wired through a 1N5408 so they illuminate as well on main beam, making 780 watts, you can see where you are going!!
I also do a rear fog light mod so the rear fogs come on with brake lights but still work on thier own, cost 30 minutes and about 20 pence, using 2 x 1N5408 again, makes a hell of a difference, do it on all my cars does NOT affect MOT and is LEGAL.

are 130/90's legal in a sierra?

forget uprated bulbs - HID is the way forward. but you sound like you won't be willing to spend the £100 odd to have them, even though they are a thousand times better than any normal bulb, use less power and will not blow in the life of the car

Does everything on a car have to be legal ?
Hackney carriages should carry a bale of hay for the horses, it has not been repealled and still stands but they don't get done.

Can't you foreigners read!!
There is still some controversey over the legallity of HID systems on cars not fitted with LEVELING systems and washer systems on cars.
Oh and by the way I am a german not a farmer.
tabetha
ps this was made very clear to him in my PM of 13/7/07, that they were NOT road legal, still no different than 100's of things everyday is it!!
