I've got halogen headlights on the Green Man. I was surprised how
much better it made driving my TR at night. They look just like
standared sealed beams that have halogen bulbs inside.
The were a bit more pricey than the satndard bulbs but nowhere
near as pricey as the "special" light sets you get from after
market suppliers.
