YESS!, there is a way, Im doing the conversion right now. Couldnt be simpler. I found a guy on ebay or yahoo auction selling the conversion kit. His company is located in california. I got the lenses and blueish/white lights for $83 on the auction. They are sweet. Here is the problem i have run into. The wires and connector that plugs into the headlights are old and while i was installing them, the wires pulled losse from the connector. Not to worry, i just cut the old one off, and ran to the auto parts store and got a new connector, paid maybe $2.00. Im soldering the wires tonight, becaused, i used little clamp things to hold the wires together, but wiht the door opening, it would pull the wires apart, so soldering is the best option. And talk about results, damn, these lights are soooooo much better then the factory. Ive managed to hit 4 deer in the past due to low visibility, but now, you can see 2miles down the road with these things. The bulbs are made by Hyper industries. If you look on the auction blocks, these light go for like $15 a pair, NOT BAD!. Click here and you can see exactly what i got. I won this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...140632&r=0&t=0
the guy that sold them, his email address is Xenonhid2000@aol.com

An easier replacement are the new Sylvania Cool White bulbs...I use them and they are much whiter/bluer than stock bulbs, and look great. They are a direct replacement, and can be bought at any checker/schucks/kragen or autozone

I put them into my T/A and they look really good. Then I saw this:
