My car is 300mi away, so I can't exactly check, but I'd still be 
willing to bet that you need 55/60W H4 bulbs (since you have relays I 
suppose you could get away with higher wattage though).  Last time I 
wasted several hours checking every source on the planet, Susquehanna 
Motorsports (http://catalog.com/susq/) was the least expensive source 
for such bulbs (and Hella ones, too) but JC Whitney was very close.
