LED 7" Round Headlamp Update
LED's by their very nature can't look like sealed beam lamps and actually work (that is put light where it needs to be, and not where it shouldn't be).
You could use a relay harness with an old sealed beam lamp that's in good condition. That would be an improvement. By old I mean made in the 60s or 70s but still fairly new condition.
You can get the look, or at least reasonably close, using a good H4 type bulb in a good H4 type lamp.
The cheapest option that is still half decent (IMO) is the Hella "Vision-plus" 7" automotive headlamps. Buy a better bulb than they supply with the lamp and make or buy a relay harness.
This ^^^ is what the Hella's look like after a lot of use. I don't recall them being marketed under "vision-plus" but they are the same. I have some z-beams to replace them, but saving them until I am doing more night driving again.
If you want better H4's, then ask Dan what is currently available.
I think this was his most recent post on the subject.

All of these draw more current than most of our A-body headlight wiring was intended for. Installing the relay harness will not only produce more light, but take a load off the firewall connectors, and protect the original headlight wiring.
I agree with @RustyRatRod
