I tried seal beams on mine brand new ones right out of the box and they're still dim. I like to drive evening and when it's dark I just wanted something better. I guess it's the result of driving new cars all these years

Hella housings makes a nice replacement that fit very well and comes w halogen bulbs, it was a big improvement. I did install relays, fuses and new wiring but they work well so far

I love that car btw

Thank you everyone there are some wonderful suggestions here

That's perfect thank you
