And that's the problem. The 4th gens have 9004 headlights, the 5th gens have H4s.

hey medicsonic, do you do a lot of driving at night with your HID lights? I hear the beam pattern is messed up for the HID conversion kits to 9004, and cause a lot of problems. Whats your opionion on this, and what do you do to resolve the lack of high beams?

The beam pattern is bad, but not for you, it is for other drivers. I have aimed my lights as low and to the right as possublem and will soon dissassmble the housing and coat the bottom of the reflector with something so that it will not reflect upward.

HID KITS

Check out www.hidkits.com They have kits which give you proper beam patterns. They also explain why the beam pattern gets distorted and how it's fixed.
