I would recommend getting a sealed beam conversion kit. I got one and it converted the old H4656 low beams into H4 lights on my car. I have found a couple on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1862277190

I have noticed that they project a whiter beam, they illuminate about the same area that the stock ones do, maybe a little bit of a wider beam. I bought ones that came with the lenses and two bulbs. I've had mine for about 6 months now and I didn't need a new harness. I'm not sure if they are easy to drill through. The lenses are glass, so maybe you shoud ask someone about drilling in glass.
