i just bought some 100w h7 bulbs from aceparts the ebay seller, came to like a tenner inc postage,

light quality is much better then standard in terms of vision and in looks, i can highly recommend them, as well as the led sidelight they offer also at a massively low price,

i also emailed them 2 days after i had fitted them and told them the light on one side is dimmer than the other (is isnt really ), and they are sending me out a replacement free of charge, so now i will have a spare to keep in the car thankyou very mych aceparts lol

I don't know if you know this, but these bulbs are illegal on any road cars - there are normally sold for off-road use only. Next, current, the load current will be greater than what the wiring was meant to carry under worst conditions = possible fire. Next, as most of these cars have plastic "windows" on the lights, this extra heat and the bulb waste heat will rise in proportion to the wattage, might just destroy the plastic parts of these lights - well cause them to distort or "yellow" which will rather waste all this extra lumens that you have found.
