Default Light Bulb

Does anyone here know what is the highest watt i could put on my low beam? i think the standard is 55 Watt... was thinking to put something like 60-90 watt (would this wattage burn the surrounding of the headlights) and what type of model is it?? H3?

was thinking to get the blue, white colour light. but want a brightest one then the orginal...

car : 1991 TOYOTA SOARER V8

any comment is appreciated.

Low beams are 9006/HB4 socket and 55w. If you go too high wattage, you will melt the wire harness. 65w may work fine. I've seen many people rig a 65w 9005 into a 9006 socket (not on a Lexus though). If you want the brightest, nothing is brighter than white. Blue or any other color bulb will only dim the lighting output. I don't know if it's legal in Austrailia, but there's always the HID alternative.
