RE: Headlights Upgrade
Virtually all the options have already been discussed in this thread but
I'll make these comment.  I added a relay kit and then went to the European
headlights on my '90.  And then upgraded to higher wattage bulbs (and beefed
up the fuses).  And I'm very happy with that solution.  Just one warning:
Make sure you have a full set of NEW adjusters (some now NLA but third party
replacements are appearing) BEFORE you go to put in the new headlights!!
Some have reported that they were able to reuse the original adjusters (must
be some magic involved) but I was unable to save them so the fact that I had
a full set on hand saved the day.
