Headlamp Bulb Wattage?

What's the correct bulb wattage for the main beam driving light bulbs (not full beam)? My UK spec had a 55W on the left, and a 130W on the right, which failed and brought on the warning light. I put two 55W in and they work fine, but the warning light's still on... Thought it might be 'cos of the wrong current draw from the bulbs being detected by the light warning circuit... Any help?

    My understanding is 55W - I do not know why the warning light persists

    Thought the warning light was rear light clusters only. If you've had brake lights converted to fog, this will trigger warning if you brake unless you do something a bit smarter with relays and the like. I've not seen front warning, and my bulbs have been failed many times...

    Oh ok, thanks. It's had a spoiler mounted brake light fitted, maybe that's the problem... Also I heard that there is a wire you can disconnect to remove the signal to the dash... Anyone know which one it is?
