headlight upgrades
Put headlight protection film on them, no rock damage worries.
Hella BiFocals are my current favorite for low beams, if you can afford them you will NOT be disappointed. Their output is stellar and very even edge to edge, because the entire reflector and lens are designed for low beam output. Clever Germans! They work full time, so the low beam relay has to be 'convinced' to stay on when the lights are on; instructions provided. There are older conventional style H4 (high/low) Hellas too; less money, less light.
Cibie are about the best high beams, they have the lens down to a science and make a spectacular beam pattern that goes for miles. Cheaper than you'd expect too, for the amount of light.
Both above lights are standard drop-in replacement for sealed beams.
Any good lights should have the lens protection film on them, it works and is cheap insurance (currently on sale for Thanksgiving). No chips or cracks in the lens, 'almost' guaranteed.
Any H1 or H4 light should have a high output bulb in it, not much more $ than the cheap standard bulb. I have Narva- standard watts, high output. German, so you know they are good.
Elipsoids can be upgraded with high output 9011 and 9012 lamps, the third generation HIR (Halogen Infrared Reflector) lamps from Philips. A little pricey, but double the output at the same watts as stock HB3, HB4 lamps. They really boost the output of projector lows, especially.
Good luck, let me know if you need anything at all.
