I'm not sure we can still get Cibie 7" headlamps anymore, but the Hella stuff is very good, especially the European (not DOT) spec lenses. And you can always go to higher wattage bulbs as long as your wiring can handle the additional current.
I also have to comment on the bluish bulbs. Blue light disperses like crazy, and while it can be seen from a long distance, it's terrible for lighting up the road in front of you, and just pisses off oncoming drivers.

Agreed as to HID conversions in housings designed for Halogen bulbs -- not good at all. Same with blue bulbs, I wish they were never made. They should be illegal, and that law should be strictly enforced.
As to 7" Cibie headlamps, I have had them for decades and love them. I prefer their beam pattern to Hellas. Yes, they are still available at Amazon of all places.

Not sure why they are listed twice but it's the same item from the same seller at the same price. The second listing calls them fog lights (maybe for legal reasons?) but they are dual-filament H4 headlamps.
Also, note that the second listing does not state that bulbs are included.
