headlight conversion
I know this thread has probably been done before, and Ive read alot of them but I still dont understand much about the HID conversion. This is my scenario; i originally had the sealed beam headlamps and when one burned out i went into my spare parts pile and pulled this werid headlamp ive never seen before out of a junk fiero i had. I later found out this was this: http://www.quadratec.com/products/97009_120.htm only not delta ones, just a cheap plastic imitation. I'm guess that this is the H4 bulb conversion? So if they are the H4 conversion, are would these HID bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36476 fit the H4 housing that i have? I know they are a cheapo ebay ones but i figured they are worth a shot.

generally putting HID bulbs in a non HID housing will cause a high level of glare and can be hard to adjust. Look at DDMTuning.com for a cheap and decent quality kit if you want to try

Personally Id just put in a new upgraded harness in and run some silverstars in them. About as bright as you can get. Retrofitting HIDs are techincally illegal in some areas and putting them in a non Projector housing causes glare and will blind people.
