If you want a cheap solution, I found that a pair of Sylvania
XtraVisions worked wonders.   I had stock bulbs that were so dim I
was sure I had bad wiring, but after replacing the bulbs alone it was
fine.

For the 85 year, the model numbers are H6024-ST, CB, or XV, available at FLAPS.

You probably need the square ones?
