non-sealed beam headlights that dont look ricey/euro
 
I just bought a 1984 Chevy C10 and one of the original low beam headlights burnt out a couple nights ago and I want to upgrade to a set of non sealed beam headlights. I have the dual beam style grille with 4 headlights.

where can i find them, I'm not having any luck, i dont want them to look like a set of ricey headlights that you can pick out from a distance, the more factory they look the better!

Look for the H4 in Bosch or Hella. You're looking for these but the size for the four headlight grill.

Look for 165mm or 4x6 H4. 4wheel parts carries them. $49.
You'll need to upgrade to relays and 12 g wiring but so worth it! Huge difference.
I run Bosch H4s in my '89 (the small ones) and I can burn the paint off the garage on high beam. lol

Not to hijack but yep, '89-'91 true e-code export only. 92x150mm. Bought a pile of them yrs ago when GM was dumping them. I only have high beam left now. Low beam just does not exist anymore.
To the OP, look for the e-codes if you can. Far better than the US version H4. Same optics but made with steel vs ABS reflectors.
