Just a word of warning:
I replaced the bulbs with some brighter ones in my Milano (I don't remember
the wattage, but they were just 9004 bulbs) and the plugs at the lights
melted.  I saw no evidence of damage anywhere else, but the plugs were
ruined.  I suspect the contacts were not making the best connection, and the
higher resistance created the excess heat.  Beware, and make sure the
electrical system is in good shape.
