I used them on my '86 Shelby Lancer many years ago. The improvement was 
significant! Better than the Euro headlights I had on my Merkur a few years 
later. The lead glass lenses really do create a distinct driver's pattern-low 
on the left for oncoming traffic and high on the right to illuminate the road 
side.

They sold for approx. $30. each plus the bulb.
