Is there a direct LED replacement for an H3 bulb.
If not, I have a lot of experience with Jack Legging a solution, sometimes successfully.
I use 2 H3 bulbs in inexpensive (cheap) light housings to add 70w to the High Beams.
Works very well too. I have used these for +- 40 yrs.
Bulbs will be cheaper than a higher output Alternator for a newly aquired ‘83 R65

Auxito has "fog lights", which may imply that they're not bright enough for headlights -

AUXITO H3 LED Fog Light Bulbs 6500K White with 8 CSP chips
The position of the miniature H3 LED fog light bulb overlaps nicely with the halogen bulb position. 3000k golden light output gives you more visibility in bad weather!
