I purchased replacement lights on E-Bay from seller prostreetgrafix. These lights replace the sealed beam lights with a HID [U]style[U] housing and includes housings, 2 Xenon H4 bulbs and the required plugs with wires that has to be spliced into the wiring harness.
The lights improve visibility significantly over the sealed beam units and look pretty cool to boot.
The sellers ad is somewhat contradictory and can be misleading if you read what is written and not what he is saying. He calls the bulbs HID at least once and states that they simulate HID elsewhere. They are not HID they are H4 halogen bulbs. He also states that you don't have to do any wiring. What he means is that you don't have to rewire the lighting system like you would if you were putting in a real HID system. You do have to splice in the plugs for the new bulbs and no wiring diagram is provided. (red is high beam, green is low beam and black is ground).
as an added note if I wanted a perfect installation I would have ground down the locating tabs on the back of the lights, as they were higher than the original bulbs, but there was enough stretch in the mounting rings to tighten the screws all the way down.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase, cost was arround $40.00 and well worth it.
