I dont know about aftermarkets but why do you want to replace them? My 95 GT had the worst headlights ever, pointed to low to see anything so I started checking around for better bulbs, hids, etc. to no avail. So I started playing around with my low beams and now I have awsome lights! The adjusters were not of much use, so I finally pulled off the elec connectors, removed the bulbs and marked my garage door with tape where the lights hit. I stuck my fingers in the hole and moved the small metal tube around and the large reflector until I had raised the beam where I wanted it and wow, what a difference! There is one little adjuster that moves them from side to side that works good so I used that also. I just had to make sure they did not go up enough to shine in other drivers eyes. Note: do not touch bulbs with fingers as the oil ruins the bulbs, and DEFINITLY do not touch while hot. Sizzling skin is not much fun! Hope this helps.
