The harness itself will work with the stock bulbs. It will be about 30% brighter. It's a very noticeable difference over the stock beam. If you still want brighter after that go with an h4 (as far as that goes its preference or cost that you will decide on), or even just some better replacement bulbs, even new bulbs will be brighter if you still have the original sealed beams (deterioration over time and all).

The harness will make a world of difference and your headlight switch will like you for installing the harness, too.

I think I missed something. LOL not unusual. still learnin here. you have H4 bulbs, which light housing did you get. I have heard there are good ones and bad housings to buy for the upgrade. thanks for your time. by the way I did a search for the brightvstars and there was an issue with the ballast on some of those lights by brightvstars. dont know if yours are one of those with issues.. good luck
