The relay modification will also help.
Do a search.

Both of the above pieces of advice are worth following, stick the relays in so you get full current to the lamps, then put in the Osrams. It's money well spent

Relay mod and quality bulbs.. BUT have a look at the glass in the headlamp.. if it doesnt say H4 in the middle throw them away and get some H4 headlamps.. the light spread is far better on those and no amount of upgrading of the non H4 ones will make them as good..
