I bought a set of Sylvania 65/45 watt 9004 high output bulbs which provided 
minimum improvement over the old plain vanilla halogens for my 86 4kq. 
However, a local foreign parts store sells 9004 80/100W bulbs (Wagner I 
think) for less that the 65/45 ones, and a cohort of mine said they were a 
great improvement. I have yet to try them out, but HTH.
