Lights?

I have recently been contemplating replacing the lights on my 82. The left one has a puddle of water in it, the right one has a big hole. They both work, but not all that well. Especially when you live in dark country where the nearest light is ~10 miles away.

Anyway, Bi-Mart has some sylvania halogens, would they be any better? They are pretty cheap, and look pretty good. My budget is around $50, can somebody recommend a good light?

Sylvania Xtravision

for a true xenon HID bulb to work you need a ballast, i bet you just have the blue coated halogen bulbs, correct?
