I am assuming that mid-level refers to price.
With the base being OE T3's. The next step would be Halogen sealed beam replacements. $15-$20 (Most parts stores) After that would be the Toyota Land Cruiser replacements with H4 bulbs. $20 (Toyota dealers)(Photos below) Probably the best bang for the buck but, they do require you to modify the headlight buckets. Then Hella or Koito H4. $90-$150 (Daniel Stern or folks like Summit) May or may not require bucket modification. I would avoid any of the LED stuff lights priced under $250 each. Most are poorly engineered, having bad light distribution and short life spans. Above $150 each in my book would be high end.
