I need to do the same as well. I bought a set of crystal angel eye headlamps and still have to fit those. Waiting for a set of crystal spots though. Wiring loom will be about the next thing after that. Let us know how it goes. :)

White or blue bulbs are nice. I am running the ice blue ones and they work pretty good.

You can get uprated bulbs from a few places, I got 100watt in the middle lights and 55/130 in the normal lights and had no problems with MOTs or heat in the light etc.
