The 3rd generation (89-94) utilizes the 9004. Search Google for the 9007 conversion.

they put out more lumens than 9004s. but the filament arrangement is different than the 9004s, so you need to turn the bulb around so you don't get blobs of light everywhere.

Not a huge increase, but 10 watts. They also seem to throw the light down better. The conversion takes about 15-30 minutes, and if you don't like it put the 9004's back in. Check it out.

you should also upgrade the harness if you convert from 9004 to 9007s

9004 vs. 9007 beam comparision on the 3rd gen:





I'll let you guess which one is which. That comparision is with a standard 9007 and 9004 Sylvania Xtravisions.
