You can Neil, but what you may run into when you put brighter bulbs in
both/either headlights, is the dreaded switch failure. That's the reason for
the upgrade, where people put relays into the lighting system so the switch
acts only as an on/off device, not a current carrier. And yes, the lights
are 9004.

I've installed the relays, and also have brighter bulbs, and they work
great. I had the headlight switch failure problem and after installing the
relays, it went away.
