Generally speaking, the rated power of any light fitting ('luminaire'), including a table lamp, is determined by the enclosure, shade, or reflector, rather than its socket. What it comes down to is (a) whether the rate of heat transfer away from the lamp is sufficient to prevent the luminaire from overheating, and (b) whether the reflector/shade can withstand the resulting temperature.

How do you change daytime running lights on a 2008 BMW 535I?

On either headlamp assembly you can change the bulb (standard H8 Haologen bulb; around $12 - $15) with no tools. Be sure the engine is off and they key is removed from the car. Open the hood. Behnind the headlamp assembly (directly behind the bullet lamp) there is a round, black cover about 3" in diameter. Unscrew the cover. Unclip the power cable that runs to the lamp socket and push it out of the way. Rotate the lamp socket about 1/8 turn (22.5 degrees) toward the engine. Pull the lamp socket straight out. Put a new H8 Haologen lamp bulb in by placing it about 1/8 turn toward the engine and seat it in the lamp housing. Turn it in the housing so that the lamp socket is straight up. Clip the cable that you removed back onto the lamp socket, and replace the cover.
