Well, they're round Hellas, but yeah; I'd say it's the difference between
raisins and watermelons, actually. Even those crapola Omegas with weak
60/55W bulbs were a substantial step up from the rectangular ones-- I'd say
a raisins to oranges there? That may have been mostly due to the wiring
upgrade though.

I got the reflectors and bulbs from these guys:
<http://www.rallylights.com/hella/7in.asp>
This package:
 H6024J - Two Lamps with Optilux 100/80w Xenon White XB +100% H4 Bulbs

Came out to about a hundred bucks all together. They inadvertently sent 9004
bulbs with the reflectors, but an hour after I emailed they replied "keep
the 9004's, the correct H4's will be there in 2 days". And they were.
Mistakes are inevitable, and any place that handles their mistakes that way
gets my recommendation. *
