The sealed beams on the LT1 cars use the same plugs as 9005 & 9006 bulbs. Therefore, if your lens is in good shape, you can cut the plug off (use a band saw, cut-off wheel, etc) and then drill out the bulb unit until you can fit a 9005 / 9006 bulb in and silicone it in. This way you can choose from a variety of upgraded bulbs.

I use a stepped drill bit (looks like a christmas tree, get one @ Home Depot in the electrical section tools) to drill the bulb out (using a drill press). This gives a stepped drill hole that will allow the bulb to go in, yet still have a flange to seat the bulb's base flange.

If I still have any units that I had modified for my 94 Z (sold now), I'll take a pic or two.

Actually, you might be able to just pop the old bulbs out. They are glued to the housing, so putting the bulb in a bench vice and giving the housing a quick twist should break it loose. Just an alternative

But yes, what Gordon told you is about the only way to uprade the headlights. I did mine with a set of PIAA XTreme Whites and like them a lot

Here is an old thread about it.

I'm using "A1 Super White" bulbs in my housings. They are $25 a pair at Autozone. They are about 50% brighter than stock bulbs but use the same amount of power.

AmericanZ28 managed to get the bulbs out of his "Guide" housings. I tried but decided it was much easier to go get 2 "Wagner" housings.

I also managed to get the stock bulbs out of my Guide housings. Whichever housings you use, just make sure that the shaft on the back doesn't get damaged.
