Chic,
I'd be leery of those high wattage bulbs for a couple of reasons. First, many states have restrictions on the amount of wattage headlights can have. I think it's around 100W for high beams and 50W for low beams. Second, high wattage bulbs will put an additional strain on the already poor headlight circuit in your CJ, which could cause wires to overheat.
What many of us have done to improve the headlights is to add a relay harness, which drastically improves the voltage to the headlights. Along with upgraded bulbs, the difference is profound. It's a very easy plug and play deal. Here's my thread on the upgrade. You can do it cheaper than I did, if you shop around for the parts.
