Actually, if someone is going to go this route, you might as well get the eurospec headlights instead of the DOT spec headlights. You have to splice the wiring in anyway, and it is no more difficult doing the H4 connectors than the connectors for the DOT spec headlights. Yes, you have to factor in the cost of the Eurospec headlights, but the lighting pattern is >SO< good, you'll regret not doing it right up front.
