The stockers are sealed-beam units, you can't buy just brigter bulbs but you can buy brighter sealed-beam units (ie sylvania silverstars)

city lights are a small 7 watt bulb in the headlights to make the headlights work like parking lights

My friend has these in his 91 supra, they look pretty good and they are bright, only problem is (and ive heard this a few times in the past) the bulbs are crap on of the bulbs went out after 1 week.

The cool thing about these is that you can buy replacement bulbs now. so its no longer a sealed beam headlamp.

well i bought them as well not from that guy but they look identical and to be honest they do work much better than the stockers you just need to adjust them with the little screw i pointed them down a little and they look amazing
