1978 after market headlights

Hey any of you guys know of any aftermarket headlights for the 1978 F-150's. I would like some more light on these dark winter nights. Okay guys thanks.

1978 F150 Custom 4x4
300-6 w/ 4.11's
3spd + Chevy pulling gear
BFGoods 32x11.50s
Chevy symbols in the grill
Dodge symbols in the muffler


Black is oil
Red is tranny
Green is antifreeze
So what are the yellow puddles under Chevys?

Are yours the round (F150 Custom) or rectangular (F150 Ranger) sealed beams? I may have seen both, but I know I've seen retrofit kits that replace the rectangular sealed beams with units that utilize replaceable halogen bulbs. With as many of the bulb options I've seen on the market, including the ultra white, high intensity, and blue versions, I'm sure that this would improve your situation.....

Buy the Bosch Set.

Mine have lasted me going on 23 years.

I have the round headlights. I like the bright blue headlights but anything would probably help.

78 4x4,

Why not try a set of aftermarket driving lights? This will help with night driving and offer the fuctionality of having a separate pair of lights.

Sylvania makes a legal halogen replacement bulb. Local auto store. Otherwise JC Whitless sell Bosh I think unit that are more powerful but not legal.
