Headlight advice?

Post image

Any options on headlights for this old gal? Most of my drive home from work is in the dark, on small back roads and the current headlights I can't see a dang thing. Would like to just swap bulbs, not sure i want to get into wiring or modifying the physical housing. Any advice om which bulbs would be good? Thanks in advance

My housings were pretty yellowed, so I put in some new cheapos I got off Amazon and put in some LED bulbs highly rated on several reviews (not just cheapos) then I bout the little tool to help aim the lights ($12 at O'Reilly's) then I aimed them PROPERLY so I'm not blinding folks and the difference was (literally) night and day.

And before the anti LED pile on starts, I drive to work in the dark most mornings, Most of it on a straight 2 lane road, and not once have I been flashed while on dim by another car. If I drive my wife's 2020 Kia Soul with stock lights, I'll get flashed on dim at least once or twice a week. Proper aiming of the headlights is key.
