I been seeing these conversoin kits where you can change your headlight to all you need to do is the light bulb change? Has anybody ever done this? Does it really work? Would it be worth the moeny to do it? Here is a link on what I am talking about http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...3&partID=11264

When i bought my Heep, the PO installed a set, they only work on "high beam" though. They work well and look cool...


They're not blinding anyone... so i'm going with it!!!


That's all i got!

I have the H4s with silver stars and I am pleased with them. I couldn't believe how poor the stock lights were. I got the housings on ebay cheap. I think I actually paid more for the bulbs lol.

Just make sure they are DOT approved or they wont pass inspection. EBay has lots of garbage ones that are NOT DOT approved...Tj

Where did you guys mount your ballasts? Is there room behind the headlight? Where is the best place to buy the H4 bulbs and ballasts?
