Ta Headlight Housing Modification Help I Do Not Want Hid's...
I Did Do A Search And Have Spent Hrs Reading...
What I Want To Do Is Cut Open The Stock Bulb And Fit A Brighter & More White Looking Burning Bulb In Its Place... Say A 9007 Stlye Xeon Gas Bulb
Does Anybody Have Any Threads On How To Disassemble The Stock Headlights (for Normal Bulb Replacement)
Also Has Anybody Seen Any Threads On Doing Sometihng Like This
I Think It Should Be Simeple And Just As Good.. I Will Get The Color Change Im Looking For And All I Tihnk I Will Have To Do Is Cut Out The Stock Bulb Filament And Replace It (along With The Harness)

you would be better off using an h7 style bulb easier to make fit and connect to the housing but for the work and im sure its n the threads vip1 posted there is a company that makes a housing that uses a bulb rather than a sealed beam. i got some a long long long time ago by a company that is no longer in bussiness, 50 bucks a pair. someone still makes them i think it would be worth it to buy them other than risk breaking the sealed beam housing

They aren't the only manufacture and others have reported better beam patterns with other brands. Check out the threads I posted for more info. I have no experience with any of the pre-made housings though and people tend to not post beam pattern pictures. The pictures I saw of the Bosch housings looked good though (links in the threads I posted).
