It's a little complicated, but I have faith in you. You can do it.

I got mine at JC Whitney. About 30 bucks (not counting bulbs). I got "white" color bulbs from Whitney as well. WOW!!! Nice full WHITE light compared to original stock (sort of yellow). On High beam it is definitely set for KILL!!!!! I can see a good 1/4 mile, with the lights set up so no one is "brighting" me in the other direction during normal driving. I had to make the hole in the back of the headlight bucket about 3/4 inch bigger in diameter, but I used a dremel tool and it took about 10 minutes. You can pay more for equivalent lights that will fit the stock buckets, (check the FAQ section of this website!) but I'm on a budget and always manage to find a way to save bucks... see my finished installation...

15 minute install and you don't need to fuss with figuring it out for yourself cause you buy it good to go and only need to hook up a couple wires (and it has instructions)

Works great for me.

Yeah, but that ain't no fun. 40 bux versus 10 bux. 30 bux is two 30 can cases of Miller HIgh Life at Wally World.

yeah, Im going to do the relay thing one day. It's really not complicated, if you understand what it's doing, and what a relay does. It's simple then. To me, that is easy. You need two relays. One for brights, and one for low beams. Ok, For the low beams, you connect the wire from the switch, to the switch side of the relay. Then have a large gauge wire from the batter going to the positive and negative sides of the relay. Then connect the wire from the relay to the headlights. It does involved a good bit of wire, and routing, but it's easy.
