Ive read a few posts on this, but just wanted clarification.

My headlight (dipped) bulbs are waaay too dim, almost impossible to see at times.

What are my options?

I saw 85w and 100w bulbs (illegal i know) - Im guessing 100w would melt the plastic housing, would 85?

What other options do I have?

Also looking to replace the bulbs in the running/fog lights as they yellowy

have a search on HID's and you will find many answers
this applies to bulbs in the fog cluster also

+1
HIDs are the way to go.
Here are the before & after pics of when I fitted mine.

As for the fog lights looking yellow, I had the same trouble (even more noticeable after the HIDs were fitted).
Take a look at this thread to see the ones I bought.
RB Performance stock the same ones now too.

HIDs. All the way.

Or just get yourself some nice rally pods;

Agree with the rest, HIDs are the only realistic option for quality and economically.

Is it as simple as swapping the bulbs? Or a whole new unit?

Bernard, are those dipped lights?!

Awesome improvement there!
