Ditto.
But I would make sure that your stock lights are as bright as they can be.
You might have some marginal connections in your wiring. To test this,
connect two wires directly from the battery to the headligts. Do this at
night, looking at the road ahead of you. When you connect the wires, do
you see noticably more? If yes, go through your wiring and grounding
points or add a relais so that your present circuit is used only as the
"signal" and the lights get their juice from some new direct-from-battery
wiring.
If your wiring isn't up to snuff, new lights won't solve the problem
anyway and actually might cause the wiring to get really hot.
Good Light,
