    That’s because they’re made for OEM standards. I have had tons of rigid products, and they’ve all been awesome.

    As an alternative you could run H4 conversion housings (Hella, Cibie, Autopal), some (cheap projectors $25 on Amazon) and a drop in H4 LED or HID kit. Total price should come to less than $200

    THANK YOU

    Just read this tutorial and it seems plug and play! I imagine any H4, will be better than sealed beams?

    Yup it was plug and play as far as I remember. Even halogen H4 bulbs are better than the sealed beam halogens.

    I have a set of newly used Hella H4 Vision Plus headlights. Not as nice a cuttoff as the E-Codes but better than stock and come with some nice Osram Night Breaker bulbs. Only $40 + shipping.

    This was with the stock Hella bulbs. The Osram bulbs are a little more whiter and brighter.
