Daz,

Go for PIAA bulbs.

The best you can get. I have them in my rally GT, in the headlamps as well in the spotlamps

They consume 55W but deliver 110W (depends on the type)

Google to find a UK distributor.

Not cheap but money good spend.

If you uprate the bulbs you should fit relays and fuses, *especially* if the new bulbs take more current than the old. If you don't then you can be losing quite a bit of the extra output in the old switches, wiring and connections.

As reorted by Paul Hunt, it's amazing to discover how a well relayed installation may solve the front light power issue alone.
