Sealed Beam Conversion Kit installed!
where did you get the kit? It looks alot more white, but how big of a difference is it lighting up the road?

Re: Sealed Beam Conversion Kit installed!
What I did was "break" the old Sylvania Halogeen bulbs out of the housings and then epox some Sylvania Silverstars in there, then put some electrical tape over it for some added security. 
Cost'd me $100.

Hell i got 4 Hella FF75's on my car for $80 and they kick azz. Much better than stock headlights with brighter bulbs.

You're doing drugs if you think HID costs 700 bucks. I'll sell you a kit for $250 which includes 2 Delphi Ballasts and 2 Phillips HID bulbs. For $325, you can have a kit with the lenses, harnesses, bulbs and ballasts.

700 is a guess at the price it was 3XX per beampair. on their site, i don't remember the exact price. Thats only THEIR parts. no what you use/have.

That "kit" is just a housing and a higher wattage tinted bulb. Nothing more.
I saw the same results buying some $20 80w bulbs and sealing them into the stock units as I did with this "kit".
Don't think these won't blow either...
Money is better spent on some heavy duty harnesses.

Gotta clean up the glue or whatever you used to seal it up each time. the kit does one major thing for me. Fixes a problem that i've had since i initially put some damage on the car. the lower screws to the drivers side lights are blocked by the front fascia being pushed up some. now i can easily pop the bulbs out from the back.

If you want an HID kit, use some brains, don't shove an HID bulb in a halogen housing. You're only contributing to the temporary blinding of everyone who has to see you on the road at night.
VERY GOOD ARTICLE ON HID LIGHTING -- READ IT.
