    I hav a 2005 with the double squares and I am wanting to replace with a set of old 359 double rounds that I have. I am also wanting to convert them to HID. Anyone done this and what all would be need to do so? The bulbs need to be placed but I have not taken the 359's apart to see what I need. Thanks for any help.

    I've seen the new headlights that are LED's. Them things rock! I've also seen them in the military trucks.

    Less draw and more light..

    If your wiring is still ok a set of JJ mounts or the 359 mounts. My 379 has dual rounds on JJs with the signals mounted in the other mount holes in the light pods. I think the plug pattern is different wire wise on square to round but if you update to HID they should come with instructions.
    It sure makes for a sweet look IMO:biggrin_25525:

    true hid lights have a box that has to be mounted to convert the power going to the bulbs. if u just want the look of hid lights,then buy the 7" single round lights that use the h4 light bulbs.

    How is it that an HID conversion kit costs about $100, but if my HID goes out in my car, it's like $400 to fix?
