Yeah I’m in the market for a set of H4 housings, but I’m gonna stick with a decent halogen bulb. HID is fail unless your retrofit projectors, from what I’ve read.

Read spd-dmn’s thread about the 55w/60w Osram Sylvania bulbs he used in the e-code H4 housings. I dont remember what brand they were, probably Cibie or Hella.

Honestly, the quality of lighting should be plenty. I really suggest you stay away from the HID craze. I know its tempting, but do some serious research. I hate being blinded by ricers with ebay HID lights. It’s really dangerous, esp. for us 240 guys since our seating position is much lower than most cars.

If you’re looking for H4 housings, you can get the Hella ones from [frsport.com](http://frsport.com), and pdm sells some too. I’ve never heard any negative reviews regarding the housings, and they come with a pair of H4 bulbs too.

If you do get a set, please post pics, thanks.
