Upgrading midget headlamps?

[thisisnotaspoon]

Any particular kits to get/avoid?

Anyone got an pic of a car with the 'crystal' lenses? Are they any better or just an expensive and slightly 'chav' alternative?

Also, driving lights on a rubber bumper? I'd like some more light, and like the idea, but as the rubber bumper already covers a proportion of the grille would they restrict airflow to the radiator further? Not keen on having them underneath, the midgets already low enough to struggle to see over anything more substantial than a speed bump!

Haven't measured the voltage, but judging by the state of the loom I wouldn't be surprised if its <<12V, I figured they're so bad it's be one of those in for a penny jobs and might as well add driving lamps, but if normal halogens and relays are sufficient an improvement then I'll go with that first.

Possibly silly question, are the bowls required? Not taken mine appart so I've no idea whats behind the sealed beams units.

The car was restored by the last owner 10 years ago, so im assuming that whatever is there is in Ok condition.
