On a 4 lamp system you have one high/low and one high on each side. The conversion installs headlights that accept a bulb rather than a sealed beam that is the bulb and glass housing in one package. You can get 55/60 halogen sealed beams for much less than the cost of a conversion kit.
Make sure you get a quality conversion kit if you plan to run higher than stock wattage or they may melt. Also, you should use a relay for higher than stock watts or you'll burn up the headlight switch.
I am looking at the setup from Daniel Stern lighting or whatever his name is I was hoping someone had tried them before I spend $500 on the setup ensuring it fits/works correctly. I believe he is one of if not the only place you can get the CSR's. I am settled on this as it appears you can't get a true HID system for e-bodies with the correct lenses.

I'm really happy. The harness he sent was d.i.y. and the whole setup was pretty spendy, but the quality of the light is great and the quality of his components was top notch too. I probably don't need them in the city and suburbs, but in the country at night will be an incredible upgrade. The light is super bright without being blue or annoying. I got a hold of 'slant six dan' over at the slantsix.org. good luck kevin
Is it a straight up swap out as far as the light housings? I.E. no cutting or modifying the headlight buckets, etc...? Thanks for the info so far guys.
