What would need to be replaced to use 100W bulbs? New relays, a switch, ????

Is this for low beams or high beams? 100 watt low beams will blind on coming drivers even if the lights are properly aimed.

However, the link below has a good write up explaining how to wire in high wattage lights.<ul><li><a href="http://catalog.com/susq/">http://catalog.com/susq/</a</li></ul>

Yes. Cresting a hill, over a bump, ...

Then that means you're upgrading the high beams which are non-xenon.

Therefore, you'll only be blinding people with your high beams and I don't think the increased wattage will make that much of a difference to the blinded oncoming driver(humour).

The only way (that I know) of increasing the Xenon lights is by changing the ballast for the Xenon lights. That if it could be done it wouldn't be cheap.

However, as an alternative you could add a several expensive driving lights to the front of your car (including the Rallye 4000 Motorsport at $690.00 or the FF1000 HID driving lights at $550.00 (US), rated at 35w) to solve your high speed night driving thrills. But, they would only be a high beam activated solution.

Sorry, I digress and I just realised that this is probably overkill for what you want but, they're options.

You don't have to change the ballast and you can change the Xenon bulbs. So, I was wrong.

Yes, they are very bright. You have to realise that we're talking about competition wattage bulbs that are used by the off road/desert racer/road racer crowd. The rally guys typically use 55w on the lows so not to attract the police. The rally/racing/off road guys rely on the high beams and additional driving lights for super nova like lighting.

Will the 100w be okay in 2001 housings?
