[DeTomaso] Looking for great substitute lights

Steve, for an easy and economical upgrade, try a Sylvania Silverstar or Ultra headlamp that will drop right into your factory housing.
They are noticeably brighter.
The modern upgrade is to LED which I did in my 2001 Superduty pickup recently. The difference was literally Night and Day.
The best $50 I have ever spent on a vehicle upgrade.
HIDs, and other lighting updates requiring relays are obsolete now.
