I have H4 headlights in my 964 and I have upgraded to a H4 "Xenon" single filament replacement.

H4s aren't designed for high intensity discharge (technology litronic uses). I've compared with a friend and it looks like the PIAA colored bulbs are pretty nice (nicer than the xenon ones I have). They list a bunch of junk on their website about 55W headlights being the same as 110W or something of output, but it's a bunch of junk - notice they don't list the lumen output (which is sometimes lower for these colored halogen bulbs that have higher color temps).
I used to have H4 lamps with Hella 80/100w bulbs. Now those were bright. If you do use those, it's a good idea to wire a relay to the headlight switch if 964s run all the power through the switch like the water cooled Pcars did. |

Where can you get the proper h4's? I'm guessing that they are not the same as the early cars, right?

Have a look on eBay - they are becoming more common and the installation including relays and ballasts is not difficult.

Get a pair of Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs and you'll be all set. Huge improvement!
