you can just put these lights in right? or do you have to do anything else in addition to installing them?

Are you reffering to the diamond conversion for your head lights??? You just take out stock ones and put these in place of em!

What about the plugs?
the h-3 conversion i was lookin at doesnt have that same plug....some told me that the h-3 bulbs are too much for the stock wiring....(apc told me that)

The Diamondbacks are a "plug and play" affair. The H4 bulbs have the exact same connectors as the old sealed beam lamps. One thing I would recommend is that you use a silcone sealant around the connectors. Since the connector is in the upright position when the headlights are closed, water will find it's way in if the rubber "lid" doesn't seal completely around the bulb.Originally posted by 89accordmeister

Ok man here is the deal! You get the conversions and they will give you the H4 bulbs with that and then you will be set! Make sure it is the H6054 conversion! APC I dont know about but go on ebay and get em cheap man.

Nate was selling them at one time. I don't know if he continues to. If not, you can get them through streetbeat.com. I paid $116 for mine, which included bulbs and shipping.Originally posted by 89accordmeister

nate still sells them, can't quote him on a price cause i think it varies by shipping. should be around 60-80... that's the housings, and the h4 superwhite bulbs also... they come included and are sure to work.. good deal. ask him about it.

The apc lights are nice too...and they arent as much as his

What do you guys mean by H3 & h4???
h3 and h4 are just different bulbs .......dont worry about it
h4 is the type you would use in these kinds of housings
the apcs are awesome i just got them yesterday

You might want to go with a different brand. The apc h-4 conversions have a plastic front shell instead of glass. They tend to get opaque over time.
I bought the eurolite brand. They have a glass front case and even have a drivinglight in them. Plus they were only like 25 bucks each without the bulbs.
Just wante to let you know of other posibilities.
By the way h-3 bulbs are only used in auxilary lighting.( driving or fog lamps)
Where could I purchase the euro brand at ?
I think you can get it prettymuch anywhere.
Its Toucan Industries/ Eurolite
well if they are gonna be crappy i am gonna return the apc housings........there is a dealer for toucan near my house, i am gonna try the ones from him.....thanks
