I've done this mod.
And I removed the silver shroud over the dipped beam (nearside) H1 bulb.
No problems at MOT.
Also, the fusebox holds a 20A fuse for the headlight.
Watts = Volts x Amps
so
12 volts x 20 Amps = 240 Watts max for the headlight wiring before the fuse blows.
So half that for safety and you can still run 2 H4 bulbs through the standard loom without any issues. 60W main beam x 2 = 120W to be clear! (Though it would actually be H1 @ 55W and H4 @ 60W so 115W)
