I think most of what you're interested in can be found in this thread: All bulb sizing and interior LED conversion details

The standard halogen bulbs are 50-55W. There are many brands that offer improved brightness and distance with their replacement bulbs, many of which are 60W bulbs. Aged and oxidized headlights are often the biggest issue regarding diminished brightness and distance. Restoring the headlights to being crystal clear will give you the most bang for the buck without even replacing the bulbs.
