    Headlight Conversion

    Well i just got back from a friends house and we did my headlight conversion with H4's. They are so much better than stock. I don't see how i ever drove around with the stock headlights. Since i was replacing my headlights i decided to go ahead and replace my turn signals and corner lights. While i was replacing my bulbs in my turn signal i went ahead and cleared my turn signals. I can't believe the difference just light bulbs and taking a piece of plastic out can make in appearance.

    Make sure the H4 housings are sealed up well they tend to leak then your light beam will cut down on output. I used silicone to seal up mine and it worked well but once you get the water in them you will have to take them out and clean the moisture/dirt out and seal them up. Plus the mousture will shatter the bulbs as it did my first set then i just took them apart and sealed them up tight.

    H4 conversion uses a composite housing that utilizes the mounting of your sealed beam headlights. They basically are empty housings that you hook up factory wiring to and replace the internal bulb with aftermarket usually "blue" or "super white" bulbs for improved lighting and visiblity.

    Good Point! I've already re-sealed mine up to keep moisture out.

    There is no diffference if it is APC too. I don't know the one I have but it has no shield for the bulb. My bulb just shoots out. Is this illegal? I pointed it all the way down already do I wouldn't blind anyone.
