    I would like to upgrade the current factory-type headlights (GE sealed beam) to a brighter light for safer driving at night. Which replacements do you suggest? I see Halogen sets and an H-1/H-4 set available with plug-in bulbs enclosed in headlight shells.

    I currently have GE 4002 and GE 4001 bulbs in my car. What options would you suggest?

    Reach out to Dan Stern via email. He will suggest H1 high beam and H4 high/low beam lamps. Stay with stock wattage H1 and H4 bulbs because higher wattage bulbs will require upgrading the wiring and adding relays. https://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/relays/relays.html H1 and H4 are definitely an upgrade over sealed beam lights. The Koito are high quality Japanese lamps. Dan may have access to old NOS Marchal, Cibie, or Carrello lamps if you want to go that route.

    Look at this set which appears to be H1 and H4:

    I use Carello headlights on my Ghibli but since all four lamps were H1 some rewiring was required
