The headlights on my car were terrible. It said Halogen on the glass cover, made by Philips. The output was very poor and I had planned on upgrading them. Well one stopped working on low beam last week so that prompted me to buy 2 new headlights.

They are made in Australia (not China) by a company called Banging Headlights, LED, glass covers, pretty stock looking.

$145 USD each, they come in patterns to suit cars that drive on the right or the left, you just select when ordering.

Simple 3 pin plug, it took me 20 minutes to install them yesterday and I just went for a drive to test them.

Amazing! It's just like driving a modern car, really pleased.

The quality seems excellent, there were a couple of brackets on the back I didn't need so I snipped them off with side cutter pliers.

Worth checking out if you're in the market.

I should have taken a photo of the car from the front with the lights on...

They look bright for sure.
To many damn deer around here for much night time cruising except in town.
 
Hella makes H4 conversion lights for just about any old sealed beam setup.

Excellent beam spread, and you use an H4 lamp - halogen, HID, or LED. I have them in my Charger (and my Daytona...and 3 of my motorcycles...).

Charger has 2 hi/lo, and 2 hi beam. The hi/lo have bright white HID, and the highs are 3000k LED (3000k is amber).

They make big square lights (5x7), small square (4x6), and both round sizes (5" and 7"). Just web search "hella h4 conversion kit".
