I put Hella "E-code" housings in my '67 bird and "BEAMTECH H4 LED" lamps from amazon.
The E-code housings have a sharp horizontal cutoff line on low beams so you're not blinding oncoming traffic and also have an angled line to the right that lights up the side of the road pretty good.
I get MUCH better (brighter & whiter) light on the road now and rarely even need high beams. When I do kick it on high, it lights up everything... a long way down the road. The only "downside" to high beams is that they are so bright, you will get a bright "splashback" from street signs.
I have the same setup in my bird, CJ-7, & '91 suburban and they all are a huge improvement.
Just make sure that you install the LED bulbs right side up, otherwise the light pattern looks like crap. You will have to cut some of the headlight bucket to get everything to fit, but you'll never see it once they are installed.
amazon or google: About $88 & comes with halogen bulbs.
