Back in the late 70's / early 80's those of use with the four headlight 
configuration (Datsun 510's for example) would run the 100 watt aircraft 
landing lights in the high beam buckets. The unobscured filament, silver 
reflector and clear lens would throw light for BLOCKS! Back then they were 
about $5 each.

Years ago I found a set of "Trophy" Halogen headlights at Pick N Pull on a 
Pinto. No name, but a trophy image formed into the center. Never seen 
another set before - or after.   Virtually nothing on the web about them.  I 
think they were made in Brazil.  I recall someone telling me they may have 
been a K-Mart (or similar) "halogen upgrade" for standard bulbs.  Anyway, 
they may be nothing special, but I'm probably going to be the only Tiger 
with a set of these "70's correct" replacement bulbs.
