I've run an older version of these and this is what I'll use in my current build. Excellent light and they look "right". Wire with a relay and good power for best performance.

Choose a H4 bulb that meets your needs, there are many varieties in color and output.

I drive with my headlights on all the time for better visibility but know that the 6014 sealed beams in the car now are close to pathetic. I do drive at night in the heat of the summer, so have always wanted to upgrade and this thread got me off my butt to do so. I wanted to go LED but, didn't want the high color temperature once I looked at what's available. I spoke with Susquehanna and, unfortunately, they can't get the Hella Super 7's for 3 months so I had to order them elsewhere. I also learned that it would be a mistake to put LED bulbs in these lights because the reflectors are designed for halogen/xenon bulbs and the pattern would be screwed up with LEDs. The lights come with "standard" Hella H4 bulbs but Susquehanna recommended the Hella xenon plus 50% bulbs. Not sure what the real difference would be but I may order a set after installing the lights and keep the standard bulbs as spares. I'll have to compare the specs to decide if it's really worth it. I expect these lights will be much brighter and better pattern as shipped with the standard bulbs.
