Re: [DML] Headlight Conversions

["Dave Price" <davep@xxxx>]

You can buy H4 Hologen light conversion kits, that have a plastic enclosure
the same size as a sealed beam lamp, but have an attatchment for a halogen
bulb in the back... from there you should be able to put whatever blub you
want in it.. they make 90/130 h4 bulbs I believe.. go to www.jcwhitney.com
to check them out.. it's in their headlight section..
