Default 1998 sport headlight conversion

HI,
I am sure someone has asked this before but I'm new to the forum.
I have a 1998 Ram 1500 that is not a sport and the headlights are the worst I've ever encountered!
How can I convert my headlights to the Sport headlights?
I have a pair of the sport lights but how can I hook them up properly?
I don't want to burn up any of my wiring and I know there is a proper way to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm wanting to do this conversion too but link doesn't seem to work at all. Can someone point me in the direction of what is necessary to do with the wiring harness in this conversion?

nocturnal the difference is the sport head lights have 4 bulbs instead of just 2, seperate bulbs for high beams and low beams... and if you mod them right you can have the highs and lows and fogs on at the same time, turning night into day
