You can't.

A 130 watt bulb will draw more than twice the current of a 60 watt bulb. The voltage drop in the wiring depends on the current and will be more than double that when a 60 watt bulb is used. When a tungsten bulb is undervolted it tends to produce much less light but about the same amount of heat. So you overheat the light fitting, overheat the wiring, possibly burn it or the switches out and don't get much more light. Bargain!

They will burn if your lights are not large enough to dissipate the heat generated by the bulb.
Note also that those bulbs will drain double the current from the battery, and your alternator may not be able to fully recharge it.

The wiring is not designed to run that wattage bulb.
On a positive note, I am selling fire extinguishers...
