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)

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. |
