    I'm in the market for at the very least a passenger headlight for my speed 6 but is it hard to wire led regular 6 lights for a speed? I wouldn't mind doing led. I mainly am not the best at figuring out the wiring and all that. If I had a chart to show which headlight wires were for what maybe but I don't have any of that so idk how to rewire.

    I've not had a regular 6 headlight in my hands, so, I can't be certain. But, if I was going use a regular 6 headlight, because presumably you are having trouble finding a Speed 6 headlight, I think the bracket for the HID would fit in the regular 6. Upgrade both sides with a new HID projector. Then either get a new ballast, or reuse your old one if it still works.

    I don't know about how to rewire for LED.

    I actually purchased some Morimoto 4TL-R projector housings, im hoping they actually fit? I am now at the point where I dont know if i want to mess with baking the headlights open to put them in. Or if i want to just find a really nice set of headlights with upgraded lighting stuff already done. Stock headlights are horrible for lighting...

    I looked at aftermarket headlight assemblies. I didn't find any that I wanted. One that I found looked cool, but actually was plain 'ol halogen. Others were often LED. Which are not necessarily street legal. I didn't find any aftermarket assemblies that used HID.

    As far as using the Morimoto 4TL-R, you'll need to fashion a bracket yourself. There was a kit for the Speed to use those projectors, but it's not made anymore. I had that kit. The bracket wasn't perfect. That was among the reasons I contracted with Custom Bracket Designs to make the bracket to fit the Micro D2S. I'm pretty confident that you will find that this is what you want.
