How labor intensive/install will this kit be. Looks be be pretty straight forward. Let us know how that works out and Im sure you'll see plenty of sales if the price is right

This is the same setup I have and I'm using stock wattage H4 bulbs. What a difference the first time I used them at night! I could finally see again. Highly recommend this mod.

I tried the H4 bulb set ups and was disappointed. AutoZone let me try them out and gave me a refund. So far the SilverStars are the best, but still not bright enough for me. So I drive a little slower at night on dark roads, don't want to hit a deer or anything.
edit: Anybody notice how bright those Ford F-150s are? They are bright, especially when they are behind you. Now if we could just figure out how to put those lights in our C-4s.

This is not a inexpensive solution.
But they are bright you will never complian about headlights being too dim.
