Uh the head lights are going to look the same as the sealed beams you have now! The only difference is going to be when your headlight burns out you will be able to buy a new bulb and not a whole new housing.

What conversion kit did you buy? Hella’s HB2 lighting is the only way to go every thing else looks like candle light next to it!

they will look the same... just the beam will shine in a different pattern and be brighter.

The actual lens doesn't have the same etchings in it as the sealed beam. It will look a little cleaner. I've got a Hella conversion, it's a great upgrade for the money, there's a load of H4 bulbs out there to choose from.

Whatever you do don't buy anything from those cheap *** Ebayers selling H4 kits. I bought a set for the hell of it and it sucks . I used it one day and went into the trash. Damn thing was BRIGHT but it lighted up everything but the road. Light distribution SUCKED! It was like using a spot light.
The lens is what matters not the brightness or wattage.
IMO Germans make the best lens.
My wife's Volkswagen in Japan has amzing lights and it's stock! The light cuts off just at the right angle and is bright. I'm sure it's not US DOT legal but US DOT can suck my ***.

There's no need for a "How to". It's a no brainer.
H4 bulbs use the same connector as sealed beams.
