Hi-
I believe you can get a 80/100 watt bulb (that's the max, I also remember there being some rating in between), but I wouldn't go there unless you talk to some people about relay's and / or possible damage to the system. I have seen some serious damage incurred to wiring harnesses / relays when uping the wattage, but I have also seen no damage after years of use by friends in their 900's, so hit or miss I suppose!
I remember driving a new C900 and getting "flashed" from other drivers on country roads with my low beams on! Not anymore!
I purchased the 9004 (that's the number for 87+ light units), with the brighter intensity white light (same wattage, NOT the faux Xenon bulbs), about $25 a piece, and they work surprising well!
