I put these on my 73 4x4. I'm using the amber section as daytime running lights...I think they were $80 for the pair or something like that. The back of the headlight buckets needed to be clearance for the large rubber gasket. Low and high beams are powered through an LMC headlight relay harness.

I have been running one in my Harley for a few years. It was nearly $300 when I bought it but when you ride early morning and night in deer country they are a real advantage. Harley has some out nearing $600 per headlight.

Hella makes H4 conversion that are an improvement over halogens. I ran them on my Jeep wrangler, and they should be plug & play with no mods needed, unless they need clearance at the rear. About $80 for the pair. I'm planning on buying some for my 72.

Read somewhere there were what, 20,000+ auto deer incidents in Iowa. Last year. For a while those ****ing bumper mounted whistles were all the rage. Then somebody figured out, they don't work. Don't have anything against good headlights, just question the price. $600? That's nuts. They have too many zeros on that, somebody is cleaning up.
They'll probably never recommend this, because you know, it's all complicated and ****, but turning the headlights OFF for a few seconds at least, gives the deer a chance to get the hell out of the way, because they just get blinded and this is half the trouble. Good eatin', hell of a way to tag out though.

As to the $600 headlight that should work in our trucks (some probably purchased for about the same price) here it is - 7 in. Daymaker Projector LED Headlamp - Chrome | Headlamps | Official Harley-Davidson Online Store
On the biker side of the world, we have tried out all of the better bulbs, HID options (higher energy draw, delayed startup), etc. etc. and currently the LED options are seen as the better option.
This is the one I use Truck Lite 7" Round LED Phase 7 Motorcycle Headlight | eBay. I believe it is "milspec" and off-roaders are drawn to it as well for its ruggedness.
