I'll get the stock 55W units and see how they go. Winter's a-coming and I want to get this project finished and done with before the darkness of vancouver starts rolling in.

You're absolutely welcome. I hope my little brief explanation has shed some light (pun intended) on what you wish to do with your car's headlamps.
Good luck! Don't forget to aim the lights correctly for optimum performance.
And if you are deciding on which H4 bulb to use - remember that any tint on the glass will
reduce the amount of light. There are a lot of manufacturers out there - Hella, Narva, Philips, Sylvania (German manufacturer, not US), etc.
Also, the Depo lights will not use the same 4W city light bulb that Bosch or Hella uses. I believe they use a 168 "wedge" bulb, but I haven't used any Depo lights myself so I can't confirm that.
For inspiration, here's my mechanic's 1990 300TE w/ 320k miles and Depo lights. Those wipers are from a Volvo, unsure if they work or not.
