Need suggestions for lights upgrade

Here's what I did to my '95 Grand Marquis Restoration:
Replaced all Parking Lites, Turn Signal Lites, & License Plate Lites, with LEDs.
Replaced all Interior Lites with LEDs.
Replaced Headlights with new units -- available at Amazon.com .
60 Watt HI-Beam Bulbs, 55 Watt LO-Beam Bulbs (bulbs available at NAPA).
You will need to install resistors with the tail-lites and front turn signals -- to prevent hyper-flashing.
I installed HIDs for the headlights, but that was a forking disaster. The lights failed without warning -- total blackness at midnight !!
I suggest that you AVOID the HIDs -- unless your vehicle had them from the factory.
There are a few brands of "high-performance" bulbs for your headlights, which sell for around 40 dollars per pair -- DON'T waste your money !! The SLIGHT increase in visibility is barely noticeable, and the bulbs burn out pretty quickly !
The most bang for the buck is the NAPA Auto Parts bulbs -- 60-Watts for the HI-beam, and 55 Watts for the LO-beam.
