The local autozone's should have the part number you need. Then just go and find the "extra vission" model for that size/type.

Wrong! They are not brighter, you just think they are.

Our cars come stock with a sealed beam. So you cannot just change the
"bulb". In order to do that, you need to convert to a housing that can accept H4 bulbs. If your interested in that, then do a search on the topic (conversion, H4*, light).

Otherwise, get a sealed beam that is a Xtravision, or Vision Plus. Those are the best selaed beams available to us here in the States.

Quoted from: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...good/good.html

"For those who want the best possible performance from their headlamps and are more concerned with their ability to see rather than the appearance of their headlamps, the major bulb companies offer optimized bulbs WITHOUT the light-stealing blue coloration. Sylvania Xtravision (in the pink-and-black package), Osram Super and SilverStar(outside North America only!); Philips High Visibility (North America), Premium and Vision Plus (outside North America); Narva RangePower are the ones to look for."
