Default LED or better head light options questio

Anyone know what head lights these are? I want to buy them or some LED/ brighter light alternative. Please post pics as I do not want the xmas lights or dots that make it look super modern.

Could be Nighthawks (hard to find) or truck lite

In my opinion the LED lights look tacky and out of place on a car originally equipped with sealed beams.

I have upgraded to Hella headlight housings & bulbs and am completely satisfied. Very bright, excellent light distribution. On par with modern headlights.

I liked them so much on my ZR-1 that I have been upgrading all of my sealed beam classic cars to Hellas.

Hellas with 100/55w halogen bulbs!!! Instant daytime!
With no screwing around with LEDs....
Fog lights? They're useless no matter what kind of bulbs you put in them due to crappy lenses. They're only there for decoration.

My fog lights work great with LED. But 1990 lenses are different

I decided to go with EAGLE lights as GE nighthawks are hard to find & truck lite is expensive. 20% off so $250 down to $200 for the pair. Bought the resistor too.
Thanks for input guys. Now it?s time to order tune up parts and replace rubber in my vacuum lines. I started with MAP sensor from advice of George + Jim in Wazoo and the car finally opened up the secondaries but boggs until partial throttlw. So i believe i still have a small leak
