I second John's Opinion (Assuming that you are looking for lights that work and not just looks)!! I have tried out various H4 and H1 drop in replacements and these european lights were designed right. They all throw out tons of light and if you increase the watts/use relays, you will have one of the best set of lights on the road.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S. I have had good luck with Hella, Carello and Cibie H1 & H4. Bosch and Lucas lights are OK in the square variety.

The most pronounced differences are in the H1 designs (even though they all put out lots of light). Hella seems to have the widest H1 beam but it has some hot spots. Cibie and Carrello H1's have the most even lighting with little or no hotspots.
