How much is light improved over the standard issue sealed beams I have now?
Where do I buy them? Do you have a contact for the catalog mentioned above?
Thank you, Mark

If you can find a set within your budget, the 8" H4 setup is the way to go. Gets rid of the chrome ring, gets you that flat face etc. They can get a little pricey. Just keep your knows to the grindstone though... and you'll have another flat face.
I'm on the casual lookout for that same H4 set to swap out for my original H5's One of these days I'll get serious enough to just write a check. In the meanwhile, I have the 80/100W bulbs in the H5's. Not the same as the H4's by a lot, but they are good enough for what I need right now.

I found a place that had a special on the h-4 8" for like $380 without the bulbs. (It was their last set. So why the hell am I even mentioning it. Sorry.) I still haven't opened the box, as I'm, ahem, building a garage addition for my incoming '89 GT.
Now everyone really hates me. But I'm having fun.

Oops. Careful in your search for lamps. I discovered today that mine are missing critical parts. I can survive with a little help from 928int'l. Thanks to Jim, I was alerted to the fact that some lamps come with socket holders and rubber sealing parts, and some don't. Mine are actually missing other parts as well. Yippee.
Man, those guys as 928int'l sure are dedicated and helpful. Three cheers.

Your right on the black part missing, Mine was missing but having the part made as we talk with extra's just in case someone in the future needs them as well.
Harpo, No PM yet. Maybe sent it to the wrong person?

John, did I read that right? You made those parts? I'm interested. I'm about to try and see if I can use the ones off my Hellas. Anyways, PM me or otherwise let me know more about this.
Jeez, they left them off of yours too?!!!! Conspiracy.

I think the problem is these lenses may and probably come off of another car as well. I will clarify this, sorry... Another Rennlister is having them made for me. Its not a hard procedure.

Well now I feel better about paying more for mine, as by ordering them from 928 Intl. mine came complete, no missing parts, even had the nuts for bolting them in place, since the old 7" ones used two screws on each side.
