Osram Nightbreakers H4 for the headlights and H11 for the fog lights. I changed mine for these and they are excellent.

I got mine from Powerbulbs.com and you get free side light bulbs with each purchase.

can be done by removing the water tank, otherwise take front grill off, pull back the bumper tab, use a cloth to prevent paint damage on the tab and stick a big screwdriver in, undo the headlamp retaing bolt(s) and carefully slide headlamp out.

yep people with likkle hands have done it by just moving the tank. Ford did mine, won't be doing again ! scratched by bumper tab, left a retaining bolt bottom of my windscreen water collector ! (still there when I got home)
Easy enough to do, you might be able to just slide the lamp forward enough to create some room.

here is the full monty:-
