you talking about the crystal type replacement so that we don't use sealed beams anymore? If so check out ebay...search for 'supra' a million of them will come up. $50.

Autozone had a set of 6054 to H4 replacement housings on the shelf the other day. I think both my Supra and my RX-7 use the same size light....

$40 for the housings and $40 for the Silverstar bulbs right next to the housings.

or go for the ultimate setup, hella H4 offroads w/ a true HID conversion. I'll never own a car without them again, even converted my GVR4. whenever converting to HIDs though it's recommended to get new headlamps themselves, an easy affair on the FC bc replacements and H4 upgrades are made. this was a $ task on my galant...but the light is worth it. I can jump into any of my friends cars ('03 eclipse V6, '03 civic, '03 accord V6, '03 sebring) and say "man, your headlights SUCK" anything by comparison seems weak and almost unsafe at night!!

The draw back is the cost though, since most true HID systems are going to run around the $500 range.

Its hard to justify spending $500 on a car that only cost $2500 (average price of a FC).

True, but the price difference is $80 to likely $800+ for HID and new projector housings. So... there's a little bit of a difference there.
