lighting on 94 Z

how can I get better headlights/hi-beams on my 94 Z28?

I looked up the bumb size (H4) and I bought a HID kit and it does not fit, guess I wasted money on that one, so what CAN I do? the stock lighting SUCKS. It don't even look like I can change the bulbs to silverstar ultras what are my options?

Thanks

Your best option is to replace the driving lights with Hella FF75s. The stock headlights just aren't very good but a good set of driving lights will supplement them nicely.

Apparently, there are folks who do not like the Silverstars:
