first off the original high beams are two prong bulbs and can not be replaced with a three prong H4 bulb. So they will not fit into the existing wiring harness without modifications. Next the high beam housings (lamps) are different than the low beam housings (lamps. Look at the original seal beams and you can see on the back where the three nubs are located on each and they are in different positions, so the sealed beams will fit into the original headlamp buckets and the high beam lamps will not fit into the low beam locations. All these housings offered appear to be low beam type and thus will not fit into the high beam buckets. Also, since the wattage is not given for the bulbs included with the set offered, it is likely the wattage is no better than the halogen sealed beams you can buy for a lot less. Now if you upgrade to the higher wattage bulbs offered as an extra, those bulbs will require relays to work properly or you will burn up the headlight switch and the high beam switch since they can not handle the amperage. Also, they are not DOT approved (European approval has got nothing to do with USA standards) and in my state, would not pass annual safety inspection to get a sticker. You can get ones cheaper through JC Whitney including the upgraded bulbs and they offer housings that fit into the stock high beam buckets.

If the seller is trying to pass these off as the High Intensity Discharge style of headlamps, doesn't that require a high voltage power supply? These look just like the standard capsule type of headlamp; they may be brighter, but probably not the same as the HID lamps.

Those are not actual hids. They are just a modern bulb retro fit and they arnt much brighter. The real ones have a balast and do not have a blue coating on them, but for the real deal look to paying towards 400 and up.

Like engineer said you may not be able to pass inspection. If Im not mistaken you can get them to pass but you cant get the super bringt ones. They have a rating starting at about 4000 and have incraments of 1000 all the way up to about 8000. If you stay in the lower range you can get it to pass I read this somewhere but cant remember where right now, and I do remember finding a set that was dot approved but the website I found them on is not up any more. I had did seme reserch to install a set set on my car but my funds arnt looking so great so I had to putthat project on the back burner so I could take care of the more imporant ones

I installed halogens from my local auto parts store that fit right in and work just fine. They are much brighter.

These won't eventually burn up my switch or wiring, will they?
