The use of the 100 W bulb would give you more problems than benefits !
The heat produced by such a lightbulb makes the reflector go yellow quite fast and could also cause problems with the stupid non relay VW lightning construction !
It�s much better to use the original conectors to swich a couple of relays ! 
Then you could use thick wires and get light just as efficient out of a pair of 55/60 H4 bulbs and extend life of your expensive E-codes !
