Personally find that standard Bosch 55/60 work best and last forever. Others(bulb manufacturers) make (ridiculous) claims and don't last very long at all.

Not legally on the road. The downside could be cooked headlight units and also the extra wattage will shorten the life of the head lamp switch which is not protected by a relay unlike the foglamp circuit.
