Kragen HID pics

Those look nice. I was actually thinking of swapping out my Hella 500's for them, as the Hella's are pretty lame for light output.

 

yeah, these things are freaking bright. i've heard of them breaking so we'll see how they hold up.

 

yea the hella 500s suck. I did the 55w HID conversion for mine and they are fu**ing brutal!

 

me and my buddy were just talking about these yesterday! he runs them in his race truck and he loves them, for the price, im gunna get some!

 

I may just try this actually. Just read that thread and if it's only gonna be $50 or so then I'll give it a shot!

 

I would be really surprised if he finished an off road race and the Kragens didn't crack... Hope they don't! As I said earlier, less than 100 miles of washboard in Baja cracked the housing on both of mine...

 

yea he hasnt ran with them yet, so well see how it goes..maybe you can reenforce them somehow?

 

My (step) son works in off road racing fabrication and prep... He fixed the Kragens with fiberglass, but soon surprised me with Hella 4000 METAL lamps for Father's Day, last year.

Warn your friend of the possible cracking of the Kragens and to have back up lamps just in case. They are cheap for a reason, ABS plastic, Made in China,... since any other HID lamp that size is closer to $400.

Once they crack, they don't point straight anymore... and if he is in a race like the Baja 500, they will probably blow right off his vehicle!

Here are the Kragen's on my truck when we were building the light bar at his shop:



Here is the finished bar, chromed:







Now, here are some 'real' HIDs (Hella) on a race truck with tilt up light bar... can adjust the light beam angle from the truck while driving!

 

i told him that they break alot, so hemight swap em out with something. yea without lights your screwed hahaha



sweet pics too! that light bar with the adjustable angle is awsome!

thanks for the pics! and info!

 

Might help.Something i found.

the 7" kragens are $170?!?!?!

you can get them for like $115 other places. i wouldn't pay $170 for them and i dont think i'd pay $115 either. i got mine off RD for less than $100 per light. $170 for an HID made in china is wayyyy too much

Edit: The ones I'm looking at to buy.^^^
Not a bad price for a pair.To bad the housing is plastic.

115 for the kragens isnt bad i dont think, not baja ready lol but good for a trail rig..same with thoes Ridingontrd posted,,,you get what u pay for

 

They do put out awesome light... HID is amazing... Don't think I am bad mouthing them for no reason, I wish they didn't crack.

 

yeah, their lights output is great, it's just the plastic housing is the drawback...

i'm keeping my fingers crossed
