I thought about doing a h4 kit, since the pair is about the same as buying 1 bulb at the FLAPs...
but they all say QUOTE These headlights do not meet DOT safety standards and are sold for off-road use only. what is your experience with these? and are they ok for street use? what gives? |

I have H4's in mine. No problem, no wiring change. Since amperage is wattage divided by volts you can calculate the current draw. Sealed beams I think were 35 watts(2.91 amps) and H4's 55 watt (4.5 amps) each. Thats a grand total of 3.18 amperes difference. Oh, and all the new replacement headlamps are 55 watt anyway. I think the car can handle it.
