The Osram 65w H7 bulbs have been
unavailable for a few years, but an
exact replacement (except for the
brand markings) is now available again.
I just ordered a couple for my wife’s
2001 VW Cabrio today.

I suggest the Osram Rallye 65W Ultra High Output bulbs for both the low and high beams. I installed these a couple years ago and they are great. I have no problem using them on my daily driven MCS. Just make sure they are aimmed correctly. They the brighter than any supposedly brighter H7 bulbs that I have purchased from autoparts stores. They are also cheaper than the autoparts bulbs. They also seem to last longer, they have not burned out yet.
They can be purchased for $20 each from candlepower at:

Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply
everyone recommends that site, and it has a lot of good lighting info. He highly recommends a few bulbs for normal, high quality replacement. -
I agree that the Daniel Stern site is good. That is where I got the idea to try the H7 Osram Rallye 65W Ultra Output bulbs and I am very happy with the choice.
Note: The Mini light wiring can easily handle 65W.
