I'm running two 130W high beams on a single Hella relay. Very common relay rated for 40A, more than twice what both your lights will draw.

Part # on the box = 87402
Part # on the relay = 4RA 931 210-01

I must differ with Evan about the fuse location -- fuse the load, not the relay with a new fuse:

12V from alternator -> relay -> new 30A fuse -> both lights

Use 12ga wire throughout this circuit. 16ga is fine for the switch / relay armature circuit.
