Voila: http://piloot.smugmug.com/gallery/412756 (is for '01 ST)
Put some Philips Visionplus or Osram Silverstar bulbs in there,
connect the right relays to make them both burn and turn up your
(low/high) beam to the correct height, then you should have a great
low beam, I do at least. Don't go for "blue" bulbs or other colors,
they only block a lot of light with those filters.

Some background bulb information following. Here an article about
the fashion value of blue bulbs:

are usually cheaper as well):
