Hi Charlie:

Use some regular H4's in the Carello's.  Any auto parts store should have 
them, but if not, try a motorcycle shop.  Stay with the name brands like 
GE, Philips, Osram, Hella, etc., if you expect the bulbs to last a 
while.  Can't say what works for certain on the 164, though, but I'll bet 
it's the 9004's you've already tried in the Carello's on the GTV6.
