For those who don't want to spend a bunch of money, I've been running Hellas on my C10 for the last 20 years or so. They use standard name-brand H4 bulbs (in a variety of wattages), which I haven't had to replace yet. I've also used Hellas in a Chevy car and a Toyota truck over the years.

The main thing with Hellas is the lens and the reflector, not just sheer brightness. In fact they are probably not as bright as the headlights mentioned in this thread. But compared to at least some Chinese models that tout only brightness, the Hellas focus more light on the road and less light on trees and oncoming cars. (Especially the non-DOT Euro versions.) Cost at Summit Racing is $81/pair, maybe less if you shop around.

BTW, what is the actual (not equivalent) wattage on the Amazon and Holley lights? Anything much more than 55/60 will require an aftermarket wiring harness or relays. I'm asking because my LED dash bulbs actually draw more current than the stock #194 bulbs, which surprised me.
