If you want a cheap solution, I found that a pair of Sylvania XtraVisions worked wonders. I had stock bulbs that were so dim I was sure I had bad wiring, but after replacing the bulbs alone it was fine. For the 85 year, the model numbers are H6024-ST, CB, or XV, available at FLAPS. You probably need the square ones? Check here: <http://www.sylvania.com/auto/carapp/> -mike
