Oh they have halogen, but no original incandescent ones. I've read the threads talking about going to halogens and if I understand correctly I'll be ok with my stock setup if I use halogen sealed beams with stock wattage ratings. Now my local dealer has Sylvania H5006 (hi/lo) that are rated for 35watts, which I understand is the original rating of the hi/lo incandescent beams. But what is the original rating for the hi beams? The corresponding Sylvania hi beams (H5001) are rated for 50 watts. Thanks- David '69 Dodge Charger R/T
