Now that we know all there is to know about anti-sway bars, let me start a new discussion about replacement 7 inch headlights. I have halogen lights in my 56 CRL, and the light output is minimal. I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekMpdKfLlMQ. They show that the Holly is best, but I do not want to spend $400 for headlights. The others are ugly and not appropriate for a classic car. Anyone have a favorite?

Stay away from those awful "modern" LED headlights. They look wrong on our cars.

Dels56 and I both converted to LED headlight bulbs in our 56 Dodges using Euro H4 housings. I used cheap EMPI H4 housings made for VW applications. Del went with more expensive HELLA H4 housings but they look way way better than mine.

Here is a previous discussion on this topic:

I have been a good boy this year, so Santa will bring me the Holly RetroBrights. Plus, the price dropped $20 today.

Seems expensive. Can you replace the bulb if it goes out? With the H4 housings, you can replace the bulb.
