In an 85 I think you have 4x6 rectangular lights, right?
Get a set of Hella H4 replacement lights. Start with the stock 55/65 watt bulbs and see if that is enough for you. I used 85/100 watts in my 84 but it was overheating the wires and I found bulb life to be on the short side. The 55/65 seem to last a long time--2-3 years at least--and have no wiring problems in my experience. I live in NH and we have lots of dark roads and these are generally fine. On really dark roads I miss the added punch of the 100 watt high beams, but not the headaches.
