You don't have to tear them apart.  The entire lamp is replaceable.

You could always convert your four-eye to use H4 halogen bulbs.  There are kits available to do that.

No....just replace the entire unit on a 4-eye...they are sealed beam units.

Went with Summit's relay wiring and it just came in today (2 days for GROUND shipping). Got it all wired up/plugged in and my headlights are quite a bit brighter (can actually see them light up the road a little with streetlights overhead). Went up to 14.2v at both lights (with one having longer wiring - doesn't seem to affect the voltage any) with 14.38 at the battery.

Now to find 55/65w 9004's to make them similar to 9007's output

Is it hard/expensive to convert the 4 to H4 halogen. I have looked into it a little but dont know enough. Would it be more of a hassle to do than to just leave the stockers?
