Default Headlamp H4, HB5

Can anyone share their experience with changing out their (1987 - 1989) H5's to the brighter H4's?. Thanks,

two headlights, two plug adapters, a relay kit, two new gaskets, two bulbs, two screwdrivers, wire strippers.
If I ever did that again I'd get some plastic covers also. lenses use to be $40 but I bet they're more now.
Considering how spendy they are I would insist on the relay kit.
It's very simple, I bet there's a how to on pelican, here actually http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti..._headlamps.htm

Even better....

My '78 Targa was upgraded to H4's several years ago and just last month I upgraded the H4 halogen bulbs to 35W 4300K high/low HIDs.

Wow, what an improvement.

The bulbs in the HID kit I purchased had integral attached shading/apperture fixtures so these had SHARP upper beam CUTOFF in the low beam position to reduce glare for oncoming drivers.
