I need so advise or direction on this....In cleaning up my garage last night, I put a cylinder head on the shelf and the shelf kicked up and send my 4 headlights to the floor. Two of the four broke, so I guess it's time are an update. The car is a '73 Challenger that uses the 5 3/4" diameter units. I see plenty of applications for the 7" headlights but no 5 3/4" 'kits". I'm not looking to go HID since the local police are cracking down on these retro-fits around here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -

I prefer the e-code from sesquahana motorsports.

Hella reflctors (not hella reflectors). On my 76 Capri I have 100W H1 elements on the highs and 55/80WH4 elements on the lows. Lit up the desert at night when we were running between Las Vegas and Ely, didn't seem to bug people in town.

Also, run relays to power the lights. It will both save the switch from an early death, and further illuminate the road.
