I converted to halogen sealed beams in my six a couple of months ago and
was extremely happy with the improvement in light ... cost about $15
Canadian apiece ($10 US). Presume you are looking for separate bulb system,
but for the price difference and the fact that no mods are necessary to the
wiring, I think the sealed beams are a great solution.
Just my opinion. However, I would encourage everyone to at least upgrade to
sealed halogens if they drive at night at all ... there is no comparison!
Good luck no matter which way you decide to go.
