What is the maximum wattage headlight bulb to safely use on the early '24? On the 944 there is a risk of fire from going too high, is this a case on the mighty 924?

Go with a standard H4 setup, available in DOT-legal or E-code.

I've swapped in H4s on several of my cars and haven't had an issue. Note that the Euro spec cars (my 937 and my 931 "Club Sport") come with H4s from the factory, and there is no difference in the switching or wiring, but there are some who contend that installing a separate headlight relay with upgraded wiring is a good idea on 30+ year old electrical systems...
