Halogen sealed beam.  Bright Star or Silver Star.  Something like that.  First level.  They're a little more white but not those bright blue/white type.

I'm considering changing my incandescent to halogen.  Well, supposedly incandescent.  I'd like a bit more light.

I guess mine would still be considered incandescent since they're sealed and don't use a replaceable bulb.  I think the difference is in the material the element is made from or the gas used in the bulb.

You aren't happy with the projector setup?

The projectors are fine, but perhaps not aimed correctly.  Also, a bit more light would be nice.

LED's on all my cars, including  my Ford Escape. For Fieros, I replaced the sealed beams with housings that let me use whatever bulbs I want.
