what is the best service manual, what wattage are headlights? 850 1996

Couple things I forgot to ask before....

I always used the Bentley manual for the BMW and I was dismayed to
see that they don't publish one for the 850. I've got a couple of haynes
manuals for the BMW also and they're horrible.
What DIY-type service manual would you all recommend?

Also, I plan on changing the low and high beam headlight bulbs
from regular halogen to either xenon or ultrawhite bulbs.
I believe, by observing the car with the headlights on low/high, that the
low and high beams are separate bulbs.
what is the wattage of each bulb from the factory, and am I asking
for trouble if I bump up the wattage (say, from 55w to 100w or something)?

Thanks again....my flood of questions has probably just begun
but I'll try to keep from endlessly yapping
