Default Another Head Light Question

I'm sorry to beat a dead horse, but I am looking to replace my poor head lights. I want to replace the entire head light unit with comething that will simply snap in place (no major modification) . Does anyone have any first hand recomendations that they have already tried. I am not looking to spend too much and am currently looking at these lights made byh delta http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...0&partID=15592

Personally, I would just replace the bulb with an slyania bulb. It will make your stock headlights 100% better. And for only about $20 via quadratec you can't go wrong. Easy, simple fix. But I've heard good things about the delta lights, if your dying to replace the whole headlight. Just my .02 cents.

Has anyone done an install? Curious how they look with the flat front.

Replacing just the bulbs works well enough. I thought that the problem causing the poor headlights was a poor lence design? If I can get away with just bulbs thats great, I'm just tired of the horribly dangerous night time drives.

Bulbs will definently make a huge differnce. If you replace the whole headlight, it will improve even more. But a bulb is a quick, cheap fix.

I'm running Cibie E-Codes, with stock wattage bulbs. This eliminates the need for a harness. All I had to do was splice the headlamp wires to the factory wires. Here's a link to some pics; Link

I used to think that my Magnum didn't have very good lights; until I drove the Rubi at night out in the country, where it's really, really dark.
