Headlight Improvements for '98 SL500?

The headlights on our Cdn car aren't the best.

Has anyone improved performance? What bulbs do you recommend?

Regards,
Dave

I agree, the lighting sucks. I think that the problem is that the usa models use 9004 bulbs. I'm not sure but I think that the euro models use H4 bulbs and have a better lighting pattern. If thats the case our options are #1 Buy a set of euro headlamps. #2 Buy a set of factory xenons. #3 Buy an add on set of driving lights. I personally dont want to spend a fortune on option #2, and honestly dont know the answer. Let me know if you get any better ideas than mine, I am "in the dark".
