What lamp assembly are you using? Are you using original style sealed beams, or a different non sealed lamp assembly that allows you to install the bulb of your choice?

Some people refer to the entire lamp assembly of a sealed beam as a "bulb", which is technically correct. However, many have installed new lamp assemblies that use a separate replaceable bulb.

If you are looking for sealed beams, I have had surprisingly good luck with the GE NightHawk sealed beams on another vehicle (quad square sealed beam NightHawks), as well as their replaceable bulbs on still another vehicle. They impressed. While not an actual recommendation on the sealed beams that fit our 944s, just some input on the this line and I'm a lighting fanatic...

I'm using a set of H4 Koitos. Very hard to find and pricey. I'm not a candidate for LEDs - I don't like the frequency, or the light blowback from fog, dust, snow or rain. Unusually worth it for me, as we drive mostly on secondary roads full of Elk, Deer, Moose and other hazards. I also bought a relay wiring upgrade kit to get maximum voltage to the bulbs, but have not taken the time to install them yet. HTH
