You might want to start with installing the headlight relay kits that our vendors have in stock. They might be dim because of the amount of current they're getting rather than just being bad headlights. I installed them this spring and was amazed at the difference.

Another vote for headlight relay. Rather then new headlights.

do both, a relay kit and beams with replaceable 35 or 55w bulbs. You'll actually be able to see where you're going at night

Note, you'll need to add a pair of bulbs as detailed on that page.
