Just one piece of advice, don't buy Digilight 4X6 LED lights.  All of Disney bus's have been converted to them and the light pattern stinks.  Large hot spot in center and bad fall off.

I recently completely revamped all my bus's headlights  -  I used Hella 003177801 4" x 6" "E-Code" high/low beam headlights, and they have a very crisp beam pattern that completely eliminates glare to oncoming drivers.   There is simply no comparison to the awful DOT sealed-beam lights I had before.   I also have Neolite 938 high-beam lights, an Indian knock-off of Hellas (does that make them I-Code?) which again put a lot of light way down the road, but without it splashing all over approaching vehicles in the opposite lane.   And to finish it off, I also installed Hella 005600001 foglights, the so-called Comet 550, in the front bumper  -  they spread a lot of light low down on the road surface and to the sides, again with absolutely no dazzle to others.   For the high-beams and foglights I used the Hella cube relays with 10ga wiring  -  voltage under load at those lights is now exactly the same as at the start batteries' terminals, so no voltage loss and dimming at all.

Changing from DOT sealed-beam lights is the single best thing you can do to help with night driving.

And Hella are a lot cheaper than some others too.
