Re: Oem Headlights

Highly recommended, and you can upgrade the factory headlight wiring by adding a relay near the lamps and let the factory switch trigger the relay.

Sylvania Silverstar headlights

Unless you mean AC Delco?

Re: Oem Headlights

I guess I'm ignorant on the differences? Other than the light color and intensity, do the Wagner lights look different than these? They are direct replacements.

That's just a standard H6024 Sealed Beam Bulb.

They are still made by just about everyone.

Here's a Wagner on amazon:

I doubt that wagners came on it from the factory.

Re: Oem Headlights

They might not have them in stock because they are common on 30+ year old vehicles, but they should be able to get some for you within a day or two.
