Default Replacement headlights suggestions?

I am looking to replace and upgrade the heavy glass stock headlights with something lighter and improved. Suggestions?

Any plastic lens halogen system (like Wagner) will work just fine. In fact, all 1992 and newer C4s specified plastic lenses to reduce weight and strain on the headlight door motors.

Thanks, mine is an 1991 so it is heavier. Are there any good lightweight xenon and HID headlamps that are legal and easy to install?

My local NAPA told me Wagner doesn't make the plastic any more could be BS.

Actually I found them at Rock Auto
