Alameda Island in East Bay and East Betty Boofoo are very different places. You can go to the NAPA distribution warehouse on 14th st (or International whatever you want to call it) in Oakland and get bloody anything.

Tractors use single filament H4 type bulbs. The dual filament IH tractor bulbs are not DOT approved for road use but they will fit in the Hella H4 reflectors. I'd have to go to a larger town or the city to get more.
The 9008 bulbs are literally everywhere. I can get em at NAPA, Sanel, Bond, O'Riley, WalMart, Sears, Rands' Hardware, Tractor Supply, ...

I've never looked for H4s and not found them, and I've lived in far less populated areas. I think the 1990 integra I had used them too. I've never had to order them either, there's always been some type on the rack.

Interesting write up. You had me till the plastic lenses. Was thinking I could get used JK or TJ headlights cheap.

I've got the Hella housings on my Amazon list. I KNOW Hella makes a good quality product. Chrysler stuff is hit or miss...mostly miss.
