Headlight Question

I’m looking to install either xenon or LED bulbs in the headlights of my 1985 RX seven. Can I do this without having to re-wire? Many thanks.

Long story short, yes you can install H4 housings and led bulbs and its all plug and play. You will have to pay attention to the bulbs for the led bulbs as one with a pigtail will not work properly as its too long for the headlight housing.
