The one that I decided on is $12.50 at:

the fourth one down, OSRAM.

This is the one that I had heard about.

Not too much bucks just to try it out.

As for those with sealed beams, I have heard that you can get a deflector for pretty cheap at an autoparts store that will accept the H4 bulbs, but I don't know the specifics.

Good luck.

be careful you dont melt the wires. the other bulbs that say 60/55W=135/125W are 60 watt high that shines like a 135 but does not use the power of a 120
