Another vote for Hella.

Boy after searching for a couple hours I have seen some cheap cheesy crappy lights.

I'm pretty sure I have my choices narrowed down to just the Hellas and the Autoloc Snake Eyes(not to fond of the Autoloc Tribar).
I have read pretty much everything I can about the two. But it comes down to what they will actually put out when on the truck now. So does anybody have any experience with both to know which is actually better?

Those Autoloc Snake Eyes are pretty sweet... I definitely going to run those when I look for an upgrade. Has anyone seen a picture of them on a dent side? I have a 74 and wonder how it would look if I bought the snake eyes with the turn signal in it and replaces my turn signal with something else.

Ive been trying to find a pic with a dent that has them, haven't found anything yet. If I get them I don't think I will get the built in turn signal, looks nice, but I just figure I don't need it.
Whichever I choose I think I am going to go through Summitracing to get them.

Can you get a higher wattage bulb than 55/60? Or is that the limit for being street legal?

I was wanting to get bulbs that resemble the ones all the new vehicles have with that blueish tint but all the ones I have found say not street legal.

80w/100w H4 bulbs are available. I am not sure about the legality of them.

I prefer to have driving lights since a cop would only tell you to re-aim them or turn them off. I think that's better than to have change back.

I guess im gonna go with Sylvania XtraVision bulbs. I was gonna bust the bucks for the Sylvania Silverstars b/c I hear they are extremely bright but then found out that they have very short lives......go figure.
I think I have decided to go with the Autoloc Snake Eyes lights also.
