Let me begin by saying, I like the 7" round headlamp look. It's part of the NA Miata's character, in my opinion. I know the low-profile, two unit headlamps are brighter. I am looking at replacing the OE sealed beams with Cibie 82440 or Hella E-Code's (I've read the Cibie's have a better pattern, but I'm open to input).

But what bulbs to use? Sylvania Silverstar's are what I'm running in my 2013 Nissan XTerra daily, and they're not overly impressive.

I see there are a LOT of "off brand" HB2 bulbs, with a huge price range. Most have cooling units that extend past the base, are there any clearance issues? Is anyone running this type of bulb?
