Looks like high beam and low beam wont make a difference with those housings (no diffusers).

No bulb sheilds... not legal for on road use in the USA.



Plus, they will blind everyone else... bad bulb housing.

I have ones similar to that off ebay that I didnt install yet. I need to order h4 bulbs first. Mine do have bulb shields and they cost about $20-30. I will take before and after pictures when I get around to installing them.

Im sure its a waste. The stock headlights are incredibly good. Hella lenses are the only ones Ive ever seen that are comparable to stock. The ebay ones just suck.

If youre looking to stay with sealed beams, I have Sylvania Silverstar sealed beam headlights, and theyre great. Theyre brighter and whiter than stock, and have a very good light pattern.

Silverstars rule. My lights are so bright that people flash their high beams at me all of the time. I love it.

The E-Bay lights are pretty good, very bright, and some come with shields, but you will lose your high beams.

There are conversion kits out there that convert to H4s but actually have diffusers and look decent.
