There are 12/14 volt versions of the aircraft landing lights (see my post towards the top).

Also, I used them for many years on DD Vettes, and have never had one burn out.

I'm replacing my headlight harness and adding relays for the low and high beams, but I would like some more modern brighter bulbs. The old eyes need as much light as I can get.

Aircraft landing lights for high beams would be acceptable also if I locate a source.

Thanks.

Uhhhh... Never mind..... I remembered to use the search function. Guess the eyes aren't the only thing old......
I don't know about the laws in your state but Maryland has a limit on candle power and color. If your car came with white lights you can't put blue lights in and you are limitrd to 55w. Sylvania does not make the higher powered replacement lights for the C-2. The ultra replacements from Sylvania are 50% brighter than stock halogens and legal in Maryland.
