Headlights Ok, so I have a 1999 Trans Am, and i've been trying like crazy to figure out my headlight issue. I really want an updated look. I have read all over the internet and i am still a little confused. I have found out 3 main things;
1 - a good HID kit costs a lot, which i don't mind, I just don't have the money right now
2 - you can not replace just the bulb in a sealed beam system
and 3 - this is a lot more confusing than i thought.
I would like to but these eurostyle housings (LINK:http://www.ebay.com/itm/165mm-H4656-...-/330730819559) and put super white, or 5000k bulbs in them, i have heard that you may need to get a certain pigtail wiring thing to convert the H4 to a H7, but I don't know what the difference is between the two bulbs are. I also know that i need 2 bright light set ups and 2 low beam set ups, due to the way the Trans ams headlights are set up as 4 individual housings, so I would need to order 4 of the same housings?, then use 2 bright light bulbs (H4 or H7) and 2 low beam bulbs (H4 or H7)? Would any of that work, if so how would I go about doing it, and if not what should I do (and please correct anything if i'm wrong I don't know about headlights, just what i've read),
as you can see i am very unsure about all of this and i really need help. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! ALL INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

There. Now you don't have to actually use the site and search for it yourself. Most people don't get high beam. Its not good to flash on and off hids. If anything order 4 of the same.

It is a H-4 bulb. i would sugest to call them and they will answer your questions and are very knolagable and do real racing needing better than stock lights. Hella is the only afermarket lights i will buy. For the price and qwality both.

I got the LMC's and lights look much better then stock. Good price and comes with everything (housing, bulb, & pigtail) for plug and play. No modifications needed the housings are the same size as original bulb.

Bandit, how are the bulbs that come with the housings from LMC? This is on my list of "to do's" for my car. I was thinking about getting a different temp/color bulb, but was curious how the supplied bulbs looked.
