I use Hella European H4 headlights with 60/55W, but ultra-white bulbs.

Victoria British sells them as do most regular parts places.  The 
European H-$ keeps the light on the road & out of the other driver's 
eyes.  When I lived in Fla I used to run 110/90W bulbs in my 911. 
Then I switched tot the normal 60/55w ultra white & got the same 
visual performance.

The V-B URL for the page with the light is:

They are in the upper left hand corner.  Shop around the Hella H4s 
are available in lots of places!
