Headlights!
Ive looked at and tried all the options I have here at the parts store I work at, and frankly standard headlamps just do not have the output I want.
Anyone have any suggestions beyond standard halogen headlamps?
I drive an 84 gsl-se as an everyday driver and work until well after dark in the winter months.
Thanks in advance for any direction to shop or suggestions to get more oomph out of a standard light set up.
(Im not opposed to adding fog lights, just dont want to until I figure out if im going to body kit or just replace the crappy bumper cover)

I have the black dragon conversion kit. It is very reasonably priced, plugs into the harness with no modification required, and significantly increases the output over stock. I also ordered a set of Phillips Diamond Vision bulbs. This upgrade is well worth the money.

I use the Black Dragon relay kit (72-040) with sealed relays from the parts store
Black Dragon Automotive - Parts & Accessories for Datsun 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 280ZX & Mazda RX7
replaced the stock headlights with these and 80/100W H4 bulbs
Susquehanna MotorSports - Auto Performance Product
and these under the bumper with 100W H7 bulbs
HELLA 008284811 FF75 Series 12V/55W H7 Halogen Driving Lamp Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive
I live on a 1/2 mile long, unlit road with a canal at the end. I can see the 12" red reflectors at the end of the road when I turn on the high beams and driving lights.

I did the Black Dragon relay upgrade and got a noticeable change. On coming COP cars will flash me if I have the brights on. And after adding bulb upgrade, strangers comment on how bright my headlights are.
Gotta watch out for the COPS now.

Yellow top Optima with a FD alternator wired to produce 150 amps.
1995 Mazda RX7 R 2 1 3L Alternator 150AMPS | eBay
When I was using an SE alternator the voltage would drop down to below 13 with all the lights on. Stays around 14 with this alternator.
