H4 Conversion Headlights?

Just completed the H4 conversion on my 92. I am looking for a recomdation on headlight housings. The APC ricer housing I bought are junk. They have a "diamond pattern" that puts all the light to the sides not directly in front of the truck. Who has done this conversion and what did you use for housings?

I have heard that the Hella's are the best H4 conversion lamp.

I wonder if that'll work on a 95. I've got an extra set of ballasts and bulbs that I want to install on her.

HaveBlue- Do you use these and do they give you a good light pattern?

Thumbs down they are the same as what you have now!

I bought a set of the Autozone $35 specials, JUNK. The reflectors fell apart! Those lights in that link look just like my old set. I bought a set of Hellas, you will get the look and beam you are looking for out of them, trust me. They have been making lights for years and most cars have them as stock OEM. I found my Hella kit on Ebay for under $40 new, I did have to buy bulbs, I got them at Wal-Mart, they are some GE Xenon white, not the cheap blue colored glass things that make your rig look like a ricer, buy the white ones with this kit you will be happy! I guess you could buy an HID kit for them also if you wanted to. I am looking into a set of round Hellas for my Miata beater!

I'm looking to buy these ones on ebay. They come with the H4 bulb too. Even with shipping they beat some of the others I've found on the internet.
