http://www.piaa.com has various H4 bulbs. Also, Narva makes them as high as 100/130w, but you need a heavy duty wiring harness if you go above 80/80w.

Don't know anything about them. I think they are APC, and you can try them on the stock headlights. I don't think you'll see the dramatic improvement with them that you will with an H4 setup, though. I've heard it's more of a change in color than light intensity.
