Headlights Bosch or Morimoto
I did the same exact thing. This is what I got [Morimoto mini](https://www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3?quantity=1) . Installation instructions aare available online and it required putting the headlight in the oven to take the cover off. It was pretty easy. 5 years later and still works and i use high beams frequently. You'll have to do some custom work to find some place to hold the ballasts in place in the engine bay. Very high quality product.
Morimoto headlights. Mines a 4th gen, but i never get tired of seeing how much it stands out in a sea of rams here in alberta.
Morimoto has been good to me. 4 years or so first Gen xbs.
I have Morimoto Super 7 headlights, they are amazingly bright but look way out of place on a Miata. I keep my lights down during the day so I don't scare any other Miata owners out there. I outshine Teslas and Porches in my area at night.
Had a 1975 Merc a few years ago and I swear the Bosch headlights were original
I have morimotos in my f150, and they are life changing in that vehicle. It's a 2011, so stock was incandescent. Once I got them, I vowed to make sure my next vehicle could be fitted with morimotos.
You have late Bosch headlights, in Europe they came with plastic diffusers, ZKW headlights and Bosch headlights with projectors had glass ones.
These are known to go bad. I didn't have your issue, but my passenger light decided to start flickering one night instantly. The next day, the DRL wasn't working, and the low beam wouldn't come on. I ended up getting new headlights from Morimoto since I had no warranty, and I wasn't going to pay $1200 for one headlight from Nissan. The OEM lights are pretty good, but terribly designed, causing water intrusion.
I've been running Morimoto XB LED headlights on my 370Z for a while now and love the look - sequential turn signals, great output, matches the TRD Pro aesthetic perfectly. The 4Runner I just bought came with Morimoto headlights already installed. They have moisture intrusion in the lenses (common issue in Texas heat/humidity). I reached out to Morimoto hoping to buy replacement lenses since the housings and LEDs are fine. "We don't sell replacement lenses or any replacement components. You'll need to purchase a complete new headlight assembly." So if a lens gets damaged, moisture gets in, road debris cracks it, or UV weathering deteriorates it over time... you're buying an entirely new $1,700-2,000 set. No repair options. No replacement parts.
Those are shitty aftermarket lights, that are on par with the completely useless factory halogen lights. Yes they need aimed.
