Joel Walker posted this March 5th and it's available in the
archives.  It was originally an article in the Limbo newsletter by
Randy Bergum, who I wrote to for details.  He responded with an
offer to sell a complete kit for doing the conversion, including
the Hella E-code lights, the brackets, and the connector adapters
for $250.  Alternatively, you can buy the plans for $20, but you
may have to do some brazing to make the brackets.  The Hella
lights used are about an inch taller than the stock ones, so
you'll have to trim your grill to make them fit, and they look a
little funny next to the standard high beams, though replacements
for these may be available as well.  His address is:
