Headlight Replacement Recommendations
Looking for what you consider the best headlight replacement? Picked up an '88 Anniversary recently, man are the stock headlight dim, need to get something that lights up the road better. Thanks all.

2025 C4 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Colter, Bought them on line about two years ago. Not sure they are still available but I found these on Amazon PEAK H6054 Sealed Beam 6000K LED Headlight https://a.co/d/fR3ZFsb. They look to be very similar.

They are far less expensive than an LED setup, they are a direct replacement for the stock units...just plug them in and drive away... and the stock wiring and switches will handle the increased amperage draw.
They also put out copious amount of the correct color light; much better than the LED's in my opinion. I.e. they work well.
I've also tried the once-popular HIR bulbs (in my Jeep) and could see no improvement over the stock bulbs.

Just bought/installed the HWStars as a result of these postings and the difference is (literally) night and day. Bargain price, too.

Been running mine for 2 years, love em.
I work 12 hour shifts, 2 weeks of days, 2 weeks of nights. So 6 months of the year it's dark going to and from work. Not as worried about wildlife or joggers with these lights

In my opinion, the best headlight replacement for the C4 is a pair of Hella H4 lenses and Philips 100/80W H4 bulbs.

Do you happen to have a part number for the Hella housings? I asked about them and nothing.
