Yes those are the ones I currently have until around 1030 or so. Even with the silverstar lamps they are not as bright as my Saturn, or the wifes Mustang. They are somewhat clouded up and such. We had a truck at work with the Jewel ( clear ) headlights and it was like, look I can see now. It also was a 2003. I priced the Jewel style and figured for a tad bit more on the credit card I could have what I really want. I will take some pics of the new ones installed but I have pulled the old ones out aout 3 weeks ago.

I'd really like to get rid of my old foggy yellows, but I'm not sure about the wiring part. I see where some guys are buying harnesses with their upgrades, like totin', and I've also read you can splice into you existing harness. What gives?

I'm not too worried about cutting the buckets either. If I screw up, I can fab something up to make it work. Though, like you, I'd rather not screw up to begin with.
