I'm not sure if they have them for TA's, but I got a sealed beam conversion from Eurolights.com, works great. Bulbs are twice as bright as the sylvania silverstars.

YEah, I did both , you just have to buy both kits, one for highs and one for lows.

Ha....i'm happy with my conversion being I spent about 40 buxs for silverstars. Its a lil' bighter but its a nice white-blue light not the yellow. Here's the write-up I used This is for a Camaro. I used the same idea to do this to my Trans Am. It was harder because I had to get the white rubber off to get to the screw that holds the bulb in. The hole is not right for the standard 9006 bulb I used. I dremeled the hole out being that my housing was metal, not the glass as on the camaros. That was the only differences!

I did that for awhile, the sylvania silverstar conversion, but the bulbs just didn't last more than 6 months for me. Seems like I was always replacing bulbs. The eurolights.com / eurolamps.com seal-beam conversion for the camaro ( http://eurolamps.com/eurolamps/camaro_headlights.htm ) was twice as bright as the silver stars.. and no messing with silicone, just pop the bulb in and plug the housing back in.
