Cool Upgrade headlights on a 87 with H4'S

I have a 1987 3.2 with H4(stock) lights. Compared to my 997 with xenons they leave alot to be desired. I know I will probably be unable to upgrade to the level of my 997, but can anyone recommend a better set of bulbs or xenon? upgrades? if available.
Thanks Mark

If your sure you already have H4's and not H5's which look very similiar, then install relays, Silverstar or other quality bulbs, and you should be in business.

If the above is not enough light the next step would be to install higher watt bulbs, if you do I'd advise replacing the 20 year old plugs as well.
