What can be done to brighten up the view from a Thunderbird? I'm looking to upgrade the headlight with minimal fuss.

I'm not mechanically inclined, nor comfortable with electrical work. Is there a simple bulb swap that I can do?

I've just changed my headlamp bulb.I fitted a 100/80w bulb with a blue tint to the glass of the bulb.Wow!! Very bright,and pure white light.

Changed my headlamp bulb for an Osram Silverstar H4 60/55W these bulbs are 50% brighter (white light) and are legal in Europe.

These are really impressive, ive got 2 in my Sprint. I bought them beacause they seemed to win the head to head comparisons in the motoring press

I put a nokya 70w/80w hyper yellow bulb on my TBS. The light output isn't any greater, because yellow bulbs tend to be dimmer, but now my headlight really stands out in the sea of daytime running lights. I put them in about a thousand miles and six months ago, and the wiring, plug and socket look just fine.
