i have a 96 blazer with sealed beams h4666 extra vision they suck. im looking to get brighter lights not really wanting to spend the money on the 98+ conversion on this truck its old and starting to show its age on the paint and body. what are my options for brighter lights is there a conversion that will allow me to buy just bulbs instead of the whole sealed unit? i have searched and couldn't find my answer
