Just to summarize the discussion, upgrading headlights has no downside. The
improvement in vision and safety by using a good H4 conversion such as Hella
or Cibie is startling. It's like looking through a good pair of binoculars
for the first time. If you want to upgrade wiring at the same time, it's not
too hard, but in my experience not absolutely required.

 The beam pattern also 'kicks up' to the right, to better light signs and
pedestrians along the side of the road, without blinding other drivers on
the road.

Ah, E-code lamps, very nice.
