If your 200 eurolights are like mine, there is only one wiring connection on
the back (outside the housing) unlike those typ89 lights. What you are
looking for is an H4 bulb, also known as 9003 or HB2. Many bigbox-type
stores & FLAPS carry stock wattage H4s which are 60/55 and work fine for
both my cars with eurolights - and typically last longer than higher
wattage. You may need to order a 100/90, if that's what you want, from
somewhere like http://www.rallylights.com/hella/H4.asp (no affiliation).
