The headlights on my new-to-me 914 are really dim. Anybody have a replacement brand they are crazy about?

Okay, so what headlamp was on stock 71 914. Trying to learn more about the different types of headlamp. At this time, mine have a halogen name right in the middle of the headl amp, made by GE and are sealed beam. So my ? is, are these ready for 60/55 H4 bulb, or do I need the H4 headlamp with these H4 bulb. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

If you are staying within OEM style, you will need to purchase the
Hella style glass headlamp. The H4 bulb is then replaceable within that headlamp.
The cars were made to accept this from factory. It would only be the
higher wattage bulb (80/100) that you would need to
upgrade the relay system.
I purchased my set from Sierra Madre when they ran a special.
