Hella are the only ones I have found when looking to be DOT certified. I personally wouldn't put any in that aren't DOT certified.

The Trucklight brand ones are the best looking that I have seen, but I have done zero research. I have several friends with them in Jeeps and they all love them.

It's an upgrade I need to do. The drag week route last year was in some crazy mountain roads that we luckily did in the daylight. At night With all the curves all my crappy old halogens would have done was show where we were going to crash.

Trucklite here...better in every way. Less current, more light, I am powering them through the OEM wiring, no relay or anything. Measure the voltage drop at the light and it was negligible.

Only thing, they stick out slightly past the trim ring.

Made in USA, 3 year warranty, DOT approved

I just put a set of the Hella HID conversion lights I bought from Summit in my old Chevy pickup to replace the old oem style sealed beam halogen lights and they are way better. No mods required at all, even the factory stainless GM trim bezels that go around the lights fit.

The high setting is absurdly bright, so much so that I know they would 100% blind people coming the other way.

They look pretty stockish and are DOT approved.

I used them on a 2 headlight car I had years ago,MUCH brighter and high beams were blinding! Also like the way the glass was fluted.You can also put a brighter bulb in!
They are on my bucket list!

My Aug issue of Mopar Action had a Article on a Street/Strip 67 Dodge Dart. In it the owner installed 7 inch Led Head lights from a Harley Davidson motor cycle. He said the lights dropped right in, just had to redo the factory head light plug. So I don’t see why these wouldn’t work in your car. You woukd just have to do some wiring. But the lights don’t look cheep,

Sorry I don’t know why it’s doing that. Just go to EBay and put in 5-3/4 led head light.
