Oh boy $75????

Guys save your money and get the Hella Optilux Zenon White bulbs. 
They are only about $25 for 2 bulbs.  They fit into your existing headlight
assembly.
Try them you'll like them.

Might want to also check with Mike Potterman he may also have them.

A word of warning: be careful of the high wattage bulbs they may put out
enough heat to melt the plastic housing.  I understand from a second source
Mike Potterman says they can take the heat but I haven't tried them yet.  My
advise is call the Pottermon and ask him yourself.
