Subject:Headlights: 2D1 types to Euro H4 types?
From:Mike \"Rocket J Squirrel\"

My 84 has round headlights. I want to get better lighting without
joining the Purple Death Ray Headlights club and being obnoxious. I just
put in headlight relays. Snazzy.

The existing lamps are sealed beam* size type 2D1 lenses with halogen
bulbs behind them.

I'm wondering if something like Bus Depot's Euro H4 headlights** would
be worth getting. At $44 a pair they seem a deal.

I understand they are not DOT approved.

If aimed correctly, are they obnoxious to oncoming drivers? Would they
be significantly better than what I now have?

================
* But they have moisture condensed behind the front glass, so how are
these sealed?
