1976 Toyota Celica GT. This is my brother's car. I have more pics of it if anyone is interested. Again, I am sorry for hijacking this thread.

I'll start my own thread if anyone requests more pics.

I hate sealed beams, but I definitely love my Hella E Code H4 conversion kit.

Hella E Codes (left) vs. Sylvania standard halogen (right), really nothing special right?

The E Codes came with Hella 60W/55W (hi/lo) OEM replacement bulbs so nothing special. At the brightest point at the front, they're not noticably brighter, but outside that focus the E Codes shine, The even light dispersion really helps light more of the road up whereas the Sylvania sealed beams provide two bright spots 50 feet in front of the car but was dim everywhere else. I'm eventually going to replace the bulbs with better ones like the Phillips X-treme Power which has rave reviews and is rated somewhere between 1500 and 1680 lumens (depending on source) vs. 1000 lumens for a standard OEM H4 vs. 3200 lumens for 4300k HIDs (not going to put HIDs in this)
