You may be able to find 100 watt H3s in a local well stocked auto store. Try someone that sells equipment to off roaders. Otherwise you need to mail order.
Just make sure you get them from a top manufacturer like Phillips/Narva or Osram/Sylvania so they have a longer life. 100 watt H3s don't last that long as it is so you don't want cheap ones that will burn out in 10 hours. Even the top quality 100 watt are rated at 100 hours - they may last 150 or more hours, but don't count on it.

My last set of 100W H3s lasted about 30 hours, in a different car; they were, however, considerably more than 7 dollars and werent very good. They came from PIAA, if anyone wanted to know. I would never use them again, junk is a word that comes to mind.

I've ranted about PIAA before, as most people are aware. You know something is fishey when PIAA won't give out any test or design specifications on their products - just marketing hype (ask Phillips/Narva or Osram/Sylvania for test data sheets and the data will show up on your fax machine within a day). PIAA is junk product for outrageous prices. There are some auto mags that have tested their bulbs, I recall one that tested the PIAA H4s but lost the link.
Anyway, from memory, the magazine tested about a half dozen bulbs from different manufacturers. PIAA ranked dead last and their touted H4 bulbs only put out something on the order of 50 or 60% of the light as a stock normal H4 bulb by a major quality manufacturer. PIAA probably sued the magazine after a couple years to get them to pull the test article off the web.
