$180 each for the 1958s and up.

$720 total.  Compare that to Sylvania's at about $25 each.

The LEDs definitely look brighter, but are they worth it?

 

I guess you could replace the brights with LEDs and have both looks - would that look weird?

With other words, not period correct. None of the OE sealed beams looked like that. I could live with a non stock look, if it is an improvement, but this is the wrong direction.
I always wanted tunneled headlights, which suits late 50s car real good, imo.

Converted a 61 Desoto to Halogen once, with the bulging lenses. It looked real stupid.
