« on: November 13, 2014, 06:23:31 PM »
Anyone know off hand what the head light housing size on the eagle is? and maybe how one might go about fabing these into the housing and having them actually work? (more or less is it hard or simple) i would be willing to try just to see how it would look lol http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=4920366

That's just a standard seal beam headlight. I have to ask why you would want to go through the trouble of installing that? It would be a downgrade since you will be losing a headlight on each side. Eagle headlights are 4"x6". Also know as a 165mm if looking to do a H4 conversion.

Here's some conversion links.

Ive actually purchased the 4000k black ones but i seen those and wondered how it would look on the eagle. I am actually running only my driving lights at the moment cause i figured since im swapping them out already that id go ahead and paint my hi beams black just to see how it looks. Im weird people where i live think im in a different eagle every week cause im always changing something up.
