Just by looking at this picture I can tell you how to do it.. It would take all of 2 minutes to do as well..

Notice that the base of the 2 bulbs is the same. the only difference is the outer part with the tabs. Well, you see where the outer part with tabs is "welded" to the base.(just look for the spots, you can't miss them, but you can't see them in the pic because you have to look from above). There are prolly 3 or 4 if i remember correctly. Now, get some wire cutters or any other sharp cutting tool and cut those "welds" and the outer part will come off. Now all you have to do is put the h4h outer part onto the H4 base and secure it by JB weld or some other method and BAM.. there you go.

i did it, i used a dremel, its not worth it though, the light beam pattern is too high, its like you have your high beams when you turn on the headlight, then when you high highbeams the light beam is too low, just get a pair at jdmhondapart.com

true that you can get em off ebay and other places, but when your cheap and cant justify dropping that much $ on a set of bulbs this is what you can do.
