For those who are thinking about doing the H4 upgrade, either from Fast Forward while David has the sale going ($430 CAD = shipping, ~$362.44 USD + 20, or ~$382.44 USD total for 86 to 91 outer lights) or elsewhere, I have found a place that sells the male 9004 headlight plugs. With these plugs, you can connect to your existing wiring and not have to cut/splice your stock wiring. I plan to solder the male 9004 connector to the H4 connector (provided in the headlight kit) and cover the connections with heat shrink, for a waterproof seal. I need to do this because in North Carolina we have yearly inspections, and most inspection stations will fail you for e-code headlights. I'm getting another headlight mounting bracket and the two inner lights, and will mount the H4's on this. Then when the inspection time rolls around, I'll remove those lights (4 screws) and remove the harness adapter, put the stock lights in and I'm good for inspection! The place that has the connectors is Susquehanna MotorSports. They are selling for $6.75 ea, total with shipping for two was $20. A little pricey, but these are very hard to find.
