Jeff, you'd probably achieve more improvement by rewiring the headlamp feeds, there's a hell of a lot of wire between the battery and the bulbs which creates voltage drop. If you fit more powerful bulbs you exacerbate the problem.
I made a simple loom that connects to the battery with thick cable, its own fuseholders, a pair of new relays down by the bonnet hinge and all new connectors. You unplug the old headlamp connectors, plug one of them into the new loom and plug the new loom onto the back of the lights. Simple
Total cost was about three pints of Sheep.

I can see my nickname is going to become "Mr Earth" but I'm going to say it yet again....
Have you made sure you have proper earth returns ?
My headlights were a LOT brighter after I redid the earth returns to reduce to a single common point with a decent thick wire to battery strap, and the pod lifters then worked a lot faster too.
