The HLL93HLB series fits a seven-inch round format and has both high- and low-beam functions built in. The HLL79HB high-beam lamps and HLL78LB low-beam lamps fit fourby-six-inch rectangular formats and are compatible with four-lamp systems with separate, dedicated high-beam and low-beam lamps. The new headlamps are designed to allow users to easily upgrade headlamps from standard halogen and HID sealed beams to the longer-lasting LED light
