Default Headlight replacement debacle.

Have a 2002 S40. I have 12 Volt, H7 50 Watt Headlight bulbs in now. Can I replace these with 12volt, H7
70 Watt bulbs? I've heard mixed opinions on this. Some have said its okay, others have said that increased heat could be a concern. I just dont want to mess anything up. Any and all thoughts welcome.
Thanks
