Happy to report that the headlight kit worked great. Totally plug and play to replace the older sealed beam ones, probably took me 20 minutes this morning and it was freaking cold out too.
Went for a drive tonight and they are definitely better than the stock headlights. The low beams have more coverage to the sides, and the high beams are more narrow and straight forward. I feel like my chances of hitting a deer are slightly lower which was my goal. They are not crazy bright, which could be nice in some circumstances but not the best for other drivers. It's probably a good balance.
