Default Sealed beam Conversion???

I was looking for a cost effective way to improve my lighting situation. I was wondering if anyone has tried a sealed beam conversion that allows you to use H4 bulbs. This sounds enticing for $35 (not including the bulbs). With some PIAA H4s, it sounds great, but is it too good to be true? Toucan Industsies makes one under their Eurolite line and I was curious if anyone has tried it out or if there are any other options for around the same price range ~$100 (Conversion + PIAA bulbs).

I second AuotOptiks, ordered my driving lights today, and will be getting the conversion and H7s in a few weeks.

Thanks guys, it looks like AutoOptiks are not that expensive, I will certainly look into that.
