By going round you can get better lighting for cheap.  On Ebay just search 7" headlights and locate some european-spec (eg H4/9003) headlights.  You can buy the pair for well under $50.

  Then you can use brighter bulbs than the standard 55w/60w thanks to your previous install of those relays.

  You will have much better lighter than most people on this board.

  All you need is the headlight buckets and a grill.

  If you're in the Dallas area, you can have my set for free. :)

  You don't need to go round unless you really want to. If you have
already done the relay upgrade you still need to upgrade the bulbs.
You can get high output bulbs for your squares here:
