I don’t have the Holley LED’s, I couldn’t stomach the price. I ended up using a set from Oracle that I think were less than $200 for all four.
I’d do it again in a second, they made an incredible difference at night compared to the sealed beams.
If you don’t like bright white be sure to find a warmer hue though, they typically are sold with different options of warm vs. cool.
This doesn’t do the difference justice.

I didn't go with the Holley's due to the price and the Holley logo across the front of the bulb. I just ordered from "Headlight Experts".
They are lifetime guarantee and are made of glass and metal. They don't have that aftermarket look to them which was important to me. Ron I just checked their website, looks like a better option. I’ve never heard of them before, thanks. Any issue with installation?

Yeah, it's not for everyone. I didn't want the halos around the lights but didn't mind the bulb reflector being visible in the middle.
Edit: will also say the best part is the light output doesn't vary with voltage like the original sealed beams did, it's constant regardless of engine speed or battery state of charge.

as my charger has hideaway lights, all i want is something that will light up the road. as of now, in the high beams, i have aircraft landing lights. [relays DEFINITELY required] those things really light up the road, but put off some heat i don't particularly like, unless i'm moving. [blowing the heat away.] i have halogens in the low beam spots, but i still would like [need] something brighter for my eyeballs, without blinding oncoming drivers. lots of the new stuff have lights that are almost too bright, so there has to be something out there i can use. the brightness "may" be caused [or the perception thereof] by the different headlight "designs" now used, instead of the old style round headlights.

Here U go... I installed (4) 5.75" Holley Retro-Brites(classic white) in my 70 RoadRunner. Also I fabricated my own Y wiring harness so each pair is wired in parallel, so I have (4) low or (4) high beams. The lites are bright and have a wide dispersion far superior to the OE incandescent bulbs, but no problem for oncoming traffic. The other major point is they have a nice rear aluminum heat sink and go into the OE mounting buckets without any cutting. For more info check out the latest Hemmings Muscle Machines for a positive review... Just my $0.02...

I converted one of mine to relays. That way the head light switch is not in the power loop. All it does it control relays HUGE difference without spending a ton of money And I still use the stock bulb Using relays for the headlites helps a lot for brightness but... In my case I wanted wider lite dispersion and brightness, and the Holley LEDs provide this, plus they draw less current than the OE bulbs.. Just my $0.02...
