Alfa 155 Lights & C/Locking



Hi folks,
        Just wondering if anybody can advise me if it is wise to change 
the Headlight dip & full beam bulbs from 55W each to 100W bulbs.I find 
the dip beam very poor but full beam ok. I got hold of a set of Zenon 
100W gas bulbs which are supposed to be 30% brighter than conventional 
100W bulbs.they say it wont affect the wiring/switches but I'm not 
sure...any advice.
        Also the central locking started playing tricks this weekend. 
Theft is a big problem so my car if fitted with an alarm & immobizer 
which locks/unlocks when activated. However the alarm triggered and when 
I investigated I discovered the doors were unlocked. I checked but 
nobody had tampered with it. Later I discovered that when I went to 
unlock the doors they kept relocking until the relay kicked out. Then 
after it cooled down it kept pulsing the opposite way i.e kept unlocking 
when I locked it. I've breifly checked all visible connections and 
disconnected the alarm and the internal lock/unlock switch but it still 
happened. Then I just disconnected the battery for about 3-4 mins and 
reconnected and HEY PRESTO everything work. but I dont trust it.Anybody 
any experience of similar ?..
