never done the sealed beams, but I know the silver star bulbs themselves with no housing is $20.

That's a fair price, I paid just over $120 to do the sealed beam conversion myself.

You do know you can just pull out the filament in your headlamp and stick a 9005/9006 bulb in there right? All you'll need is some RV Sealant to hold the bitch in there. Two bulbs and the sealant should cost around $50, unless you get them used of course, which would be much cheaper

that's what I got in there right now. I have a 9005 in my lowbeam for my passenger side and a 9004 (9004 is the proper one for the headlight) in my driver side. Only difference between 9004 and 9005 is that the plug on the 9005 has two little plastic tabs instead of just one, so the plug won't fit unless you melt/cut the plastic tabs away. I just heated a screw driver over my gas stove for a few minutes and then melted the plastic down, worked fine for me.

So 9004 for the lows and 9006 for the highs right? Where can you find silverstars for the fogs too? For some reason our fog lights must take a really weird bulb cause the store I work out never has them in stock.

Meissenation's setup differs though. I guess almost any 900X bulb will work.
