Default T/A headlight question

I saw a thread on here a while ago where somebody had put regular bulbs in the sealed trans am light housing, but now I can't find it. Does anybody know any specifics on how to do this? I'm not looking to go HID yet, but thought some bright white or blue bulbs would look good.

Thanks

Go search Susquehanna motor sports..... Not a drop in but a nice upgrade when done. I also saw that thread and it was off the shelf light that you only have to do a harness upgrade..... I just can't rember who it was. These stock headlights are so bad they are downright dangerous IMO.

I have the eurolights housings, but with HIDs. They fit great and visibility at night is MUUUCHHHHH better!

So if you get a housing that takes a regular bulb, do you just cut the wires and splice in a connector to plug the bulb into?

for the eurolights assembly, the bulbs they give you fit with your stock connector
