Buddy of mine is looking to replace headlights and get something closer to OE than He currently has. So....what's the masses say. GE . Or Westinghouse bulbs. Not after date correct Yada Yada stuff. Just reasonably close And if he wants to at least get something closer than the mismatched ones currently in the cars

I still have a bunch of high beams - used to grab 'em at Pick A Part - but have used up all my low beams. Last I saw, the low beams were $50-$100 on Ebay.

I had told him I thought they were GE. in both cars He has a stock pile of NOS bulbs in both manufacturers. I have serious doubts he plans to worry about dates. He has a bad bulb in one car and wants to at least make them all match instead of the hodgepodge combination of whats in them now.
