I like the Hella Vision Plus Headlights that Uncle Joel recommended to me,
I'm not sure if this sale is still on but I posted this August 13th...

In my search for Hella information I ran across this sale in "Excellence"
magazine. Hella Vision plus Halogen Headlights from www.automotion.com for
$35.96 US their regular price is $45 but I'm sure I've seen them for $50 to
$55 everywhere else. In the ad they look like they are mounted on a Porsche
944, which given Pokey's top speed makes me smile...

The ad reads:
Hella Vision Plus Halogen Headlights 20% Sale The 7-inch Round Hella
Headlamp is a direct replacement for most stock Porsche headlights, and
yields dramatically increased night vision, to 5,400 ft. The real advantage
lies in the excellent light coverage and 50% higher output on low beam .
This lets you see better all the time, without the fear of blinding oncoming
drivers.

7" H4 Headlamp 802500
Was $44.95 Now! 35.96 EA
SAE AND DOT APPROVED IN ALL 50 STATES

Thanks,
