I did that same conversion on an earlier model car with a four headlight sysem. A 1978 Corvette. Its a great modification.

If you want some serious fire power four your brights, buy all four lense capsules and install. Snap off the center low beam contact on one set of your bulbs. Use those for your brights. They realy make those old two lane highways bearable on a dark night!

Which of those links you posted (if any) is the best place to buy a conversion kit for my 92? I have four headlights rectangular in shape that are sealed beam. Do they make a kit that uses H4 Bulbs? Most of my shopping is done on e-bay and I usually find it hard to find 90-92 specific parts. Everything is for before and after those years. I want the four capsules with some nice xenon white H4 bulbs (I work at a Harley-Davidson dealership and all that is used are H4, so we have all kinds of crazy different H4 bulbs). Also is the wiring changed too? Thanks

They sell HID kits, the REAL deal. Awesome stuff, and the owner is a great guy. The LT1 HID kit is a sealed beam replacement. Only one available commercially. Awesome stuff, and they last a lifetime
