HONDAMAN's RELAY kit (if you can't wire up your own)...
PLUS
the HELLA Lens housing (designed for jeeps mostly, but works perfectly on our bikes). Excellent focusing of the lens and housing - far far far better the oem or cheap autoparts aftermarket.

I put a Hella reflector/lens in my stock bucket when my original sealed beam bit the dust. Great light pattern. Also getting the HM headlight relay this spring. Biggest difference for me (so far) was the solid state reg/rect replacement, though.

I installed headlight relays from eastern beaver on both of my bikes and they work great. Im running after-market headlamps with h4s. Ive had good results with silverstars. Bright as hell.

I wonder if eastern beaver is different from western beaver.
