Dave: If you are looking for authentic, 1970 was right at a cusp between
the Lucas Ranger series of 5" sealed beam driving lights and the halogen
Square 8s. Other suppliers such as S.E.V. Marchal and Cibie had high
quality halogen lamps available at that time too.
Personally I think a pair of the black rubber cover Lucas Square 8s look
great below the bumper of the 1970. If you plan on mounting above the
bumper, I prefer the look of round lamps. I've got a pair of Cibie
Bio-Oscar+s' that I'm planning on sticking on my 1970 MGB sometime. They
are a bit later period, but still very 70s.
