Either Hella E-codes or Delta E-codes make nice drop-in replacements.
I've used both and prefer the Hellas. They have flat lenses, which can look out of place, but should be a non-issue on a Charger.
Stick with standard wattage bulbs.
Do the relay upgrade in conjunction and you'll be very happy with results.
99% of the HID stuff is crap, and doesn't meet any safety standard (ECE or FMVSS).

I have the the HID ballasts and bulbs on my 69 Charger. I absolutely love them. I too have had the H4 with the painless wiring kit (On my 70 Charger once upon a time)and it did a good job but the HID blows it away. I bought the 4 matching Hella housings, I think I dropped $180 on the four plus another $40 for the Sylvania for the Hi beam side and another $175 for the HID kit....I aimed my headlights lower than normal and they still bother other drivers BUT they are approved for EU roads...
