Halogen Headlamps 1970 Cutlass

Hello All:
in looking for halogen replacements headlamps I seem to be finding GE (ribbed glass), Sylvania Standard and Sylvania Xtravision (clear glass).
Does anyone have any thoughts on which ones to choose?
Thanks, Peter

I bought Wagners from Napa for my 72 and they work really well!
I have the Sylvania Xtravision set on my Ford - they are great, too.

All the standard aftermarket OEM replacement bulbs are about the same as far as I know, but you may have a different batch available over there - isn't Bermuda under British road rules? Their lighting standards are slightly different than those in the US.

Hey Eric: fortunately my car is in the US - I could never drive it here with a 35kph speed limit! Unfortunately I am here, so I only get to see my car avery few months! All that will change when I retire in a couple of years - my wife is American and wants to move back.

I have a set of H4's on my 72 and love them. I cannot find who sells mine anymore.
