headlight relay conversion question

Morning Guys,

   Been out if the loop for a hot minute but decided to start getting back into my 88 Turbocoupe. Headlights are clear and housing is good but also if I remember correctly there is a type of headlight wiring/relay conversion that helps send all voltage to headlights (helps brighten some and keeps switch cooler)? If anyone has info on this, how to wire it would be GREATLY appreciated.....Hitting 61 in a couple months and want to start having fun with this thing again : )
