No, you have to get a set of non-sealed beam housings.



The kits I have available to me all say for off-road only.

Going to contact a new vendor tomorrow and see what theirs are.

No, I purchased Hella H4 Housings to put these into, only logical way to go.

Actually, I think these Hellas with the replaceable bulb have the correct reflectors.

I actually installed these and used the BD heavy duty harbness with relays. The write up is in the archive.

The pictures in there show the cutoff these have compared to stock.

So it looks like if I already have a good set of h4 hellas and then decide to upgrade to one of these HID kits its a bolt in. We really need to see pics. Actually my lights are now bright enough, not sure I'd want to go brighter.

That looks like the exact ones I used. But as for the relays, mine already came with them.
