<VV> Headlights

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Define 'best'. 
 
For lighting performance, the Cibie CSRs are hands down the best. Expensive  
as all get out, but you will NEVER have better headlights. 
 
Next are Cibie, Hella, or Bosch E code headlights. More affordable, and  
still WAY better than any sealed beam out there.
 
If 'best' means for the money, go with a good E code headlight with  
replaceable bulbs. 
 
And as far as I am concerned, adding relays and better wiring is a great  way 
to make any headlights work better. Since lumen output goes with the 3.5  
power of voltage, (and the stock harness drops a fair bit of voltage!) you WILL  
see an improvement, and with E code headlights, you sometimes need to do  this 
because on high beams, the breaker in some headlight switches will start to  
cycle.

More on this than you thought you EVER wanted to know, and he sells Cibie  
headlights.

In your  estimation, what is the best replacement for headlights? Or do  I  
just take the old one to the local parts house and get another like it?
