but the low beams remained fairly pathetic.  IIRC, the high beam is an H1, and 
the lows and fogs are H3.

Here are some pictures of my install into DOT headlights:

I think you can get the same bulbs with a H1 base from the seller doing
the group buy.  If the lows are really H3 that might be a problem.

As I mentioned, I'm really happy with this upgrade so far.  The only
down side I can see is reliability (an unknown) and replacement part
availability.  That's why I left everything in place to swap back to 
halogens if I have a problem.
