Dave Unless you want "the look" of the special halogen lamps, save
yourself some money and get halogen sealed beam headlights from your
local auto supply NAPA Pep Boys Auto Zone, whatever. They look like
what came on the car, but inside the head lamp is a halogen bulb. I
did this two years ago. I'm really pleased with the brightness and
especially pleased that I didn't have to spend <$100 to get it.
