If you buy E-code rated replacement headlights and use the standard 55/60 watt lamps you will get much improved headlights. Both Cibie and Hella make these, as well as other manufacturers. Expect to spend $50-60 per light. A good place to buy is Daniel Stern's Lighting Site. For even better lighting, install headlight relays which will put alternator output voltage to the headlights. I have installed the E-code headlights and the lighting relays to three of our 700 series cars, and they have outstanding headlights.

The headlight relay installation is covered on Stern's site, and it is also on the Vclassics site.
