55 to 65 watt bulbs are fine. I only used the 90/100s cuz I had them new in the box on the shelf.

How much is all that approximately? My lights now are pretty bright for stock, so I might just do this for looks.

Thanks cruiser54 I swear, you're one of the most helpful guys on here. Unless I just missed both of those links in previous posts. I can see myself doing that.

I only posted one. You'll be very happy with the harness and those bulbs/housings.

This will help, too.

Cruiser’s Headlight Upgrade Harness Instructions
 
 
Absolutely plug and play. Remove grille and headlamp bulbs. I fed my harnesses from the passenger side starting between the battery and the back of the headlamp housing, over to the driver side. Plug the driver side bulb into the new harness. Attach the new harness's ground wire under one of the small bolts on the radiator support after scraping the paint off under it. Attach the harness to the existing harness behind the grille working toward the passenger side. . Plug the new harness plug into passenger headlamp. Plug original headlamp plug into receptacle on new harness. Attach the ground for the passenger side just like you did the driver side under a radiator support bolt. Attach relays with provided bracket on the passenger side inner fender. Connect power wires to battery.

Yup.

The link on page 1 has a post with my headlight writeup in it but cruiser has covered it accurately.
