Quick way to get up to speed on modern lighting options is to go to Daniel Stern Lighting and read everything on the website. Some good threads here on FABO too, and Dan chimes in with his expertise on most or all of them.
yep. I have all of Mr Sterns equipment on my 68 cuda. Fused Relays and the bulbs and housings he recommended. Its bright as any modern car. There are no real good HID kits out there unless your spending 600 plus.
