Ways to upgrade headlights on my 02 Tacoma?

Well, from what I have gained... my father's Taco uses H4 bulbs in the headlights. What have people done to upgrade the headlights?

Also, if I go to a 90/100W H4 bulb can my stock wires handle the high wattage or do I need an upgrade wire harness / relay??

too lazy but I'll give it a try

EDIT: Well just as I suspected... I searched and no answer to my question about if the stock wires will handle the 90/100W bulbs.

All I got was that a wire harness / relay will make the bulbs brighters... yeah, I knew that since I did it on my Jeep Cherokee.

Basically what I want to know is can the stock wires of my father's 02 Taco handle the high wattage of 90/100W H4 Bulbs or am I going to need a wire harness / relay?

I have the bulbs selected (the same as the ones I have in my Jeep), just wanted to know about the question above. Thanks

For that kind of wattage you should upgrade the harness. The stock harness is barely adequate for the 55/60 watt bulbs.
