Jim - mine don't shine worth a ****, either. There's another thread on this (1st gen) board about light conversion kits for H4's - Hellas sell for about $80, but from what I've heard/read, it's not a bad investment.

They're pretty good. Direct replacement, and just $14 instead of $10 at Kragens. Good place to start.

I have the h4 conversion.......Do a search.....there is a guy who is the expert and sells nothing but lights..they are a liitle on the high side but the quality is second to none.

I also have Hella 50 watt driving lights.....just blinding at night.......every body flashes me or pulls over........

When they flash I hit them with my brights........Doh......
