A body lighting Swap
I work for a new car dealer and I see people installing these kits a lot. Personally, I'd rather just go with a quality H-4 halogen upgrade. I did this on my `74 Dart daily driver and it made a huge difference over the stock sealed beams. You have to wire in relays to protect your headlight switch from overloading and melting, but it's no more involved than installing aftermarket HID's which, in my opinion, don't compare to the factory systems. Plus if a bulb goes bad with H-4's, you can get a replacement at any Pep Boys or Auto Zone.
Here's the wiring schematic for the relays:
These are the lights I used. They are a flat-faced Hella style that I found on-line used for about $40 w/ bulbs.
You can also add parking lamps in the base of these headlights.
You can find new H-4 lenses for about $100 or so new.
Just my .02.... not to mention it's about $250 cheaper overall.
