Head light conversion kits

I think Ryoken posted he had the LMC one's, so he then he would know which bulb to use. But an H4 bulb is a very common bulb and you can get one anywhere. The CSK converter lenses that I saw have a plastic front lens not glass. And it seemed kind of thin too. So I haven't bought a set yet. I had another internet source but have'nt been able to find them lately due to my computer crash, if I find it I will post it up.

my bad on the price... $40 bucks it correct. I understand the bulbs aren't included, but it seems like the bulbs for the Kragen lenses are different than the bulbs required for the LMC lenses...?
 
I went with the LMC's as mentioned.. Haven't had to buy a bulb yet, I'm sure their available at any parts store..

I've been very happy with the conversion so far, the housings are good quality...
 
This link shows the H4 bulbs: Hella H4 They're used in a lot of European vehicles as Europe has different laws affecting headlights. Eurospec headlights blow our DOT-approved crap out of the water. :shocked:
 
If you want some awesome lights for the money then check these out:

I run those exact same lights on my K5 (check out this link: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175548) and they are by far the best light for the money from what I've seen. I run the 200mm Hella E-code H4 conversions in my 1996 Corvette and have held both lamps side by side and the quality and construction are nearly identical. The pattern difference is pretty much the same as well (even though the blazer takes the 165mm lamps). I've also used these lamps for over 8 months with the 55/100W bulbs and have yet to run into any problems. I've always been a huge Hella fan but I'm glad I decided to give these a try since 2 sets of Hellas would have been pretty expensive and these work great.

By wiring all 4 low beams to come on at the same time and having the 55/100W bulbs w/ Euro pattern, I've pretty much got superior lighting to most newer cars.

dot means nothing. i have lit the inside of cop cars up. and they don't do anything. in cali around me they are more worried about tint.
 
kp texan, those lights look pretty nice for the price. I might have to try a set, since I'm low on funds and have been wanting a set of the LMC ones for quite awhile.
 
Don't forget to upgrade the harness. You'll won't gain anything without doing a wire upgrade.
 
I only stock the round lights, but we can get the square euro crystal headlights for both the 165mm high/low and high only, and the 200mm bulbs high/low. They come with bulbs, have a glass lense, and are dot approved. I sell ours with relay kits to take the most advantage of these lights and to reduce amperage load on vehicles that have older wiring. It should also eliminate any dimness or variable light output put out by weak circuits. Once you figure having to buy bulbs, our kits our very comprable at $129 for a 2 light kit and $229 for a 4 light kit, both with relay kits included.

We put a pair of the 200mm lights on my brothers RX7 and the difference was night and day.

In addition to upgrading the harness and doing the relay upgrade, also note that the terminals on an H4 are different from the terminals on the standard sealed beam. While your sealed beam harness will fit right onto the back of the H4 bulb, the terminals are not in the proper sequence (meaning high beam, low beam, and ground are in the wrong place).
