Yes I am running 9004 for the low beams and H4s for the high. You can run H4 or 9004s in them - difference between the bulbs is H4 is a motorcycle light and 9004 is a car bulb. I hear somewhere that 9004s were built to a better standard than H4s because they are for cars not motorcylces - but I don't believe it. The diamonds have a glass lens (which I prefer) and the chrome on them is lasting. I also have DRL on my truck as well and they haven't discolored at all. There are a couple other diamond styles and I have even seen a projector (I want to get them!). InPro Car Wear's conversions are good quality - not great but good. They have a spot for a "city light" but I don't use them. I think later I'll put in neon tubes instead. I don't have any pictures yet but I will try to get some. I've been really busy (& stressed!!!) lately but I'll try. Oh & BTW I do have my headlights on relays - I used the kit from JCWHitney for the 4 headlight system - turns out APC makes it. It was $40. They aren't currently fused though They certainly work well. I need to aim them again though. I also recommend you replace the plastic blocks the headlight adjusters screw into when you do this. It will save you a headache later and it ended up almost all of mine were already broke and barely holding on.

Tyler-
Thanks for the detailed low down.
Don't worry about the pictures. I'm just throwing some ideas around.
Again, thanks.

You can argue with me but you can't argue with figures. Two half nothings is a whole nuthin...
