Go here:

Scroll down to the H7 bulbs and order the 65W Osram Ultra High Output bulbs. They are about 20% higher wattage and much brighter than that in proportion.

They are officially not legal for street use, but OK for off road. They are a direct drop in replacement, with no modifications necessary - other than a probable re-aim of the lights. They will serve you far better than some jack leg aftermarket HID kit, which is a major safety hazard in addition to being illegal.
