H4 Headlight Conversion Kit
Hey guys, can any of you reccomend a good headlight upgrade from our sealed beams to h4 bulbs? I've looked at the delta kit but it looks like it is cheaply constructed. What have you all found to be the "best" kit?
My fault, I should have searched better...looks to be anything in the H4 upgrade realm and a suvlights.com harness is the best option.

Is that setup DOT approved? Should I even worry about not passing inspection with it?

Oman...have you ever thought about asking for this thread to be stickied? I mean seriously, I worry about your wrists and carpel tunnel from typing about your boobies for the thousandth tim But anyways, boobies aside, the brightest non-HID light you can get are IPF e-code lenses, HD harness (SUVLights or simliar, doesnt really matter) and NARVA 100/90W bulbs. They emit a super white, not the fake HID blue light and they are unbelievably freakin bright.  I mean, I bought lightforce 170s after that, but i have been fairly disappointed because they simply dont add anything to headlights. Litterally it turns the road into day. All in all, IPF lenses for 40 bucks a piece, bulbs for 20 bucks a piece, and harness for 50...quite a bit less than Oman's X-sighting system

I bought the IPF lenses and PIAA 60/55 bulbs (inspection once per year in Texas) and the difference from the wagner halo sealed beams is night and day. I see no need to get brighter headlights, and the low beam is wide enough to see the wildflowers in living color on the sides of the road. High beams, seem like they light the road for a mile ahead! Very impressed.

Just to clarify, mine DOES meet DOT specs and has a nice little engraving to prove it.
