PDM-racing.com sells a halogen H4 light upgrade for $66. It's damn bright with cheap $6.50 advance auto sylvania H4's. Just throw away the cheap, ricey superblues that come with it. It fits all s13's.

4x6 or 4x7 is basically the same thing. As long as you don't get the 3x5 you're fine.

Be careful. Don't just wing it, an inch can make a difference. Go to your car with a tape measure. PEACE. Tek.

the ebay kits suck. I had one, sold it. Got the bosch h4, like it alot. They ebay ones aren't as clear, nor do they project as much as the bosch ones. I'm so serious when I say you can see the difference. You'll probably want to get some aftermarket h4's too. The ones that come with the ebay kits blew out really quickly for me and for my hachi buddy. The bosch kit came with bulbs that were too yellow for my taste. I had originally gotten piaa super extreme white bulbs, but now I'm using razo premium white zero bulbs as they're missing that yellow tint that was in the piaas. Only complaint I have about the Bosch kit is that the boot for the bulb is too short stock on the 240 and you've gotta extend it a bit further.

Are you talking about just the h4 conversion, or the one with the projector lense in the middle? They call it "Euro" on ebay. Also, if you do get one from ebay, make sure you get the one with an all glass lens, not the plastic one. It's terrible. Glass one is ok, and I guess the Bosch one is excellent. PEACE. Tek.

I sort of want to get the bosch one. I might do a junkyard HID conversion too. But that is in the future. I may do a custom headlight altogether if I get a good job after college, so ... Depends. PEACE. Tek.

I think that city light thing is lame. Guess it's a blue led that runs all the time. That's for show-off rice h0m0-babies. PEACE. Tek.

I wonder about those, I like the idea of the projector cuz I could use it for the HID conversion. Let us know how they are if anyone has tried them. PEACE. Tek.
