I just did the sport headlight conversion. I couldnt be any happier with the way they turned out!!!

EXCEPT

Is there a way to have both the 9004 and the 9007 bulbs light up both high beams and both low beams?

Might be another one of my many dumb questions, but is this a worthy upgrade vs getting a pair of aftermarket headlights?

I know that, but is the light pattern more efficient than stock nonsport? I'm in need of new lights and I'm pretty curious about the sports.

Like I have posted before many a time. There is nothing better than sport headlights. Yes the pattern is diff yes they have a clear lens. As they are a dot housing no bs for inspection by cops or dot.

Well it was a toss up between some new stock ones or upgrading to stock sports. Not wanting to go aftermarket for sure. P.S. sorry for thread jacking lol

Mine are called eagle eyes. They have awesome light output. These are by far a much better headlight than oem.

Theres a way to get both the 9004 and 9007 bulbs to stay on during high beam. I havent messed with them to figure it out, but they are plenty bright enough on their own. I get flipped off, mirrored, and high beamed at night because people think my lows are too bright. The sport lights are AWESOME!

I think it's in the connectors too. Before my retrofit, both low/high would stay on. Now my lows cut off with my highs on. And yes, both bulbs in the housing are wired to the stock sport connectors but I think there's a ground switch on the low beam side that enables it to stay on or some **** with high beams. I don't use high beams enough to justify fixing it right now but it still bugs me lol.

Mine are eagle eyes as well. And even with new housings and SBL LED bulbs I've never got flipped off or brighted OR mirrored, so you better adjust your lights bud

I have sport headlights 7" lift and I don't blind anyone. So get your lights aimed right.

Stopped today on my way home from work and had my headlights aimed again. He said they were about 6" too high and too close together.

Guess i need to find a new shop to inspect my vehicles if they cant even aim headlights.
