Default Brighter headlights

Hi, can anyone help me find brighter headlights than sylvania's regular stuff found in autozone or checkers? I got used to using my mom's car and now it feels like I cant see anything in my 76. The lamps do not need replacing because I changed them around a month ago. Any advice is welcome.

Use the advanced search function, lots of good stored info, you should also add two relays for the headlights and larger gauge wiring while you are at it.

I added two relays controlled by my headlight switch and then wired the lights through them directly to the alternator. Much less voltage drop and brighter bulbs.
