I bought some from option racing off Ebay. Don't get the projector lenses cause I've heard they suck.

I converted my regular headlights to Sport Headlights a few years ago. What an improvement!! I had to cut a small amount of sheet metal out with a sawzall, and I put in some relays, but it works sooooooo much better than regular headlights.

I haven't done it yet, but from the opinions I've read, it will be Sport headlights for me too when the time comes.

torquefan, you won't be sorry. I was like day for night after I first converted. I just couldn't believe how much better they are. I have mine set up so all 4 elements are burning on 'Lo' and all 4 elements are burning on 'High'. If I pull back on the multi-function switch and all 8 elements light up. That really illuminates the dark spots in the road.

i ran the same way as you . . . . . until i got into some fog! with all four bulbs lit on low beam mode - the inners shone slightly upwards making it very difficult to see in foggy conditions. i had it wired so i could just simply swap a 5-pin realy for a 4-pin relay to lose the inners on low mode.

for the OP - do a sport conversion. i have a couple other posts floating around on this subject in threads others have started. do some searching and you will see the sport conversion is the last time you will change your headlights . . .

Make sure you're not blinding oncoming traffic.
