I just replaced the headlights in my '57 'Bird with Wagner sealed-beam units from NPD (a Mustang/T'Bird parts vendor). They look like conventional headlights, yet are reported to be brighter than regular Halogen bulbs. Wagner part number is H6024BL; available from NPD @ $14.95 each.

My experience so far trying to get "brighter" or "whiter" bulbs for my Miata and Mountaineer have been very dissappointing. I have tried two or three different brands (of "bright white" replacement Halogen bulbs), and have yet to find any that will last more than a few months (yes, I am installing them with surgical gloves, no skin contact).

The new Wagner sealed beams appear to be much brighter than the standard OEM sealed beams I replaced. Hopefully, they will last as long as an OEM lamp, too.

regards,

Jeff
