Hella makes a quartz sealed beam that is a drop-in replacement for your 1st gen. It uses an H4 element just like many OEM headlights. I use them in mine, and they're great; very even coverage and very precise beaming.

Just make sure you aim them correctly and do a test run at night on your favorite roads. If they are aimed too high, they'll glare into oncoming traffic and you will get people mad at you.
