I bought mine at www.autooptiks.com
I paid around $70 for conversion kit and bulbs, but check out e-bay, I guess they have cheaper (Around $40 for conversion kit and bulbs, but it's auction.) clear headlamp which looks cool, and they say it's street legal.
You can use H4 bulbs for that conversion kit.- Chris<p>1996 Arctic White Firebird 3.8L V6 5-speed manual<br />K&N Air & Oil filter<br />Kumho 245/50 ZR16<br />Denso Iridium plugs & Tylor 8mm wires<br />Mobil1 10W30 SuperSyn<br />Momo Competition Steering Wheel & Shift knob<br />Pioneer CD player w/ 10 speakers<br />AutoOptiks headlight conversion w/ H4 Xenon HID lights<p>and many new parts thanks to many repairs. :)

Ya, I'd say www.autooptiks.com is your best bet. Be careful though, they would never return my calls after sending me a bad set of fog lights. I got a headlight conversion kit also and it works fine.

DON'T ORDER A CONVERSION KIT!!!
There's no point. Trust me on this one. THe sealed beams that came with your car are nothing more than a 9006 size bulb "plastic welded" to the back of the glass enclosure. Take two pliers and grab hold of the back of the enclosure and the back of the bulb and twist in opposite directions. The bulb will twist right out. Just clean around the edge of the hole a bit with a file and glue a xenon bulb to the back of the hole. It's watertight and the only cost is the cost of the bulb. I've had mine for about 3 years now with no problem and no extra money spent.

He's right, the only other thing is that the new bulbs won't connect to the stock connector. Not a biggie, but a quick run to the parts store will fix that.

Just a few crimp-on terminals ("female disconnect" kind) and some electrical tape. The 6mm size worked ok for me, but I bet if there is 4-5mm it would work better.
