Bus Depot has the H4 bulbs and housings for about $53 total. These are the E-code housing which are approved for motorcycles. Any reason these won't work fine on our cars, apart from the "approved for motorcycle use" issue?

One thing to consider using H4 is the fact that they hang upside down when stored. The bulb is not sealed and the rubber seal that goes around the bulb has been know to leak. The other factor is that the seal fries under the metal of the headlight cover. I prefer Halogen Sealbeam because they work just as good and are available most places. With higher than stock watt bulbs (100W) you may or may not need a relay to keep wiring temp down.
