I used those on my last car and they worked fine. The only thing I find an advantage is that I didn't have to through away the whole thing when I replaced the bulb.
Since I didn't have to replace the whole sealed beam assembly, I would just take off the headlight skin to get to the back when it came time to change bulbs. |

It doesn't really add any brightness, unless you switch to the newer bulbs like the xenon blue bulbs or the higher wattage units.

I think you would benefit more on using a higher wattage low beam.
