Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
Just use Hella or Bosch , you can get Hella 7in round at most 4 x 4 shops , they use 'em on Jeep's. High quality lites .

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
I agree, a little more expensive but darn better quality, and you can always get them replaced most of them have warranties on them from the store

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
I used Hella and I'm very happy with them. Check this out. The standard european driving lights is what I got. www.autobahnpower.com

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
One thing to think about before you do the conversion, when I changed mine over to the H.I.D. system, I had to cut out the center of the bucket that houses the headlight. There was a depth issue on my truck when I used the newer style composite headlights with the H4 inserts. But they do look nice!

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
Do you think these would work better with an HID system sense the lense is more clear

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
HID and H4 bulbs are two completely different things. HID requires a special transformer to power the High Intensity Discharge system. You would be lucky to find a decent one for $400-$500.

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
Those Autopal lights don't fit very well. They will be loose in your headlight buckets. You can add some adhesive foam or something similar to the back of the light to make it fit right (which is what I did).

Re: anyone done a h4 headlight conversion
I know what HID is, its just all the conversion headlights them selves are H4 design... I would go with something like this
