Robert,

Regarding your search for 100W H7 bulbs.....

I have made this search ahead of you.  I found 55W H7's and 100W H-1's
from Imparts.  The conclusion I reached was that H-7's are tough to find
in 55W, they may not exist in 100W yet.  Heck, most people I called had
never heard of the H7.  

My order of preference in upgrading:

1.	get HID gas discharge system that is a Euro option ($1300 US)

2.	Get Euro H7/H1 light with better beam pattern.  I will be checking
	on this in the next few months.  I wonder if the lens is changable
	vs. the entire unit since the US and Euro versions use the same
	bulbs and the unit is not Hermetically (sp?) sealed as sealed
	beams are.


FWIW,  If I put in my 100W H1's, I will DEFINITELY use Relays and 10 guage
wire.  You'll get better performance and likely avoid having to change a
headlight switch (or worse!).
