    If I was to change out the sealed beam headlamp for an H4 type, would I need to do any wire mods or would it be a clean swap?
    Do the H4 types run hotter than sealed beams?
    Also, can I just go down to my local auto supply and pick one up?
    Thanks

    No - easy swap, No, and Yes.

    Stick close to the stock wattage for the bulb (55/60) and you'll be fine.

    I just swapped mine out with a H4 lens and a Silverstar H4 bulb.

    Works a charm.
