headlight conversion
I know there have been other threads like this but Im looking at a kit here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4pc-4...temZ8071798635
Now if I got this would I need to get a new wiring kit like this from summit

Just really wondering if I need the relays and all that come with the summit kit?

In the pic it looks like those are in a Ford Probe. I would make sure that they would fit before buying them, if I were you.

Axle/Gears: huh?? guessing stock.
I bought a set of housings like those for a different car of mine. the light pattern SUCKED!! there was NO beam, just a splatter of light. that and the blue painted bulbs really dont have as much output as a set of silverstars.
If you really wanna convert to H-4 bulbs, I would look into Hella housings. They are good quality housings, but you also are going to pay for hthem. I have used these with exelent results, especially with Silverstars. I had a set of 100W bulbs in them (not running through the factory wiring of course... ) but they were to bright. I was constantly getting flashed with them aimed properly and on low beams... any way here is the link to what and where I bought them. http://www.rallylights.com/hella/165mm_lo.asp

check this guy, he sells the wiring kit for 0.99 starting bid all the time. I just bought one a couple days ago for $9. Just be warned, his shipping is high.

If you read the article in full it says the housing is 4x6, some people call them 4x7. So they are the right size.

I emailed the guy selling and they are for a Camaro, the pic with the probe is to just show the brightness of the light and how it looks.

Ive changed the headlight conversion to these
http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/produ...?productid=548
I want the Eurolite one shown in the pics below but cant find them anywhere. Can someone help me out? Ive look at the Toucan site where Sinister Z got his from but I cant find the right place to get the Eurolite's.
Im going to stay with the summit wiring kit.
