Best way that I have found to get some "real light" out of any older Guzzi headlight regardless if it's stock or halogen H-4 is RELAYS! Go to any auto parts store and go to the accessory lighting dept. and pick up a couple of 30 amp relays. You need one each for low beam and high beam. Instructions are usually on the back. Once you have them installed all the headlight switch does is trigger the relay which then carries the load instead of the switch. Really makes a big difference. The rectangular channel under the main frame backbone makes a great place to put them. You can get them in the headlight shell, but it gets a bit crowded.
Good luck.
Later "Maynard"
