Halogeen lights in an Amazon?

[FrankSmulders]

Hello everybody,
my father has a problem. He has got a 32 year old Amazon and he has tried to replace the conventional 45 Watt lights with Halogeen 55 Watt lights. Does the wiring support this and of course the reflectors behind the fitting?
I hope somebody has experience with my father's problem, thanks for all your answers...

I have run halogen headlights for about 10 years without any problems. I did fit a power relay for high beam to bypass the "tired" wiring and give the lamps full voltage. When I changed them I replaced the lamp/reflector unit with ones from Halfords (UK chain motor store) and these have not given any burning problems.
