Remember, the backs of the headlight buckets will have to be trimmed to accept the housing's larger butt.

Also, having the more powerful bulbs will mean that you might want to use dedicated relays powered from the alternator or starter and use the original power wires for trigger wires. I think the two lows and two highs are too much for the headlight switch to handle and it will either flicker on and off as it overheats or it'll fry the switch.

The price for the lights is not too bad its the shipping that I was thinking was a little too steep! then again maybe not.Separate relays sounds like a way to go.

Awesome. Matt, you're going to have to help me out on this one. I really REALLY think this installation looks incredibly slick. I think I'm going to tackle this in a few weeks when I'm on spring break.
