I find older quad headlight systems beat a lot of modern systems, I think regulations picked up to limit output ability though. Still, so long as my dims don't blind oncomers I want my brights to be like the power of the sun in the front of my car.
I will help you with your relay hookup then, I noticed the previous link provided is now lacking info

Ah ok, well to do the rewire at the lights just reroute the wires as I mentioned before. To replace the switch you need to reach behind the dash and press the little button to remove the handle from the switch. Then you remove the collar on the front and pull the switch down far enough to remove the wire harness.

When your high beams come on all 4 lights come on, which is why one bulb is a dual beam. The 3 plug ones go on the outsides of the car, you will see when you pull out your old bulbs. Those ones you have to move the wires around but otherwise plug right in. The ones with 2 wires are only high beams, those you will splice in, clip out the old plug and splice this one in. It doesn't really matter how you splce them but I always lift the boot a little to look at the wires and splice the center most wire to the green wire on the car.
