I don't remember which circuit has a relay, but if you can check the wiring diagram then I would suggest to add another relay to the circuit without.

+30% and +50% bulbs are better than the standard bulbs but try to stay away from colored bulbs as they do steal lumen. Higher watt bulbs are illegal and not worth the coins when the above bulbs work just as good or even better.

Assuming this is a face lift- go careful on upping the wattage. Headlight lens is plastic.

Higher watts - evil. They are not permitted on public roads, as said on Osram +80% package, for example.

Philips Premium +30% will light as much as Philips Extra, but the price is significantly less. Don't buy bulbs with xenon effect or any other colored bulbs. But Philips Night Guide is ok as i know.
