Quite frankly a 7" Hella, Bosch or Cibie is such a far superior light to a sealed beam that there is no comparison. The optics of a good European headlight are so good that you really don't need HID. If you want more light a 55/100 or 75/100 bulb will provide an incredible amount of light. You will likely need relays though as our stock wiring will not handle those kinds of loads. Like HID's overwattage bulbs are also not legal.
