and one which I will be installing. Use a power relay wired so that the lead that now powers a light just closes the relay, and the relay contacts feed power - via an in-line fuse - from the battery to the light. Use #10 wire. I understand that this will help a lot.
If you think about the circuitry that the power goes through otherwise, it's a long trek from battery to headlight relay to headlight switch to stepping relay to bulb failure warning system relay (low beam) to the light, finally. Voltage is lost en route. The relay system gets the headlight fullest power possible.
You will need one relay per side per beam, which means 4 of'em for high and low.
I found that the relays that are used for central locking system or power windows will work. At a nearby store here Electronic Parts Outlet I found a relay base which had a in-line blade fuse made into it. I got the relays at a re-cycling (junk) yard.
Good Luck,
Bob

PS I heard that the yellowing on the outside can be removed with toothpaste, silver polish, Mequiears (sp?) cleaner, and other labor-intensive produnts.
