Feeler: Hella 500ff & HID Conversion

Yeah man, just give it a shot......if you F'em up you can always buy a set from me.

 

yeah if i mess up im not worried about $100 in lights and parts. Are you able to send a link of the instructions you use?

 

Yeah it's under the Lighting thread - I used this memebers walkthrough but did not epoxy the lights (because if they burn out, I'd be nice to change them). I zip tied them in place.

cool, ive seen that one but didnt like the epoxy part either. Ill be trying this when I get back to the states then! Thanks for your input

 

interested in a set of 500s already HID converted.. pm inbound

 

i may be wrong but i believe i remember reading somewhere that the process for the black magics was a little different for some reason? anyone know for sure, cuz i have black magics too and they're not bright enough

 

I never get tired of looking at 1911's... but I do like my sig P220 just a tad more...

 

Sorry which one is which? I like the ones on the left. They also come with the HIDs correct?

If so om me and ill prob take them for my new bumper

 

I have a set of 700ffs and I want to convert them to HIDs . Could I send them to you and have you convert to 6000k? Thanks!!

 

Sure, I could give it a shot. Is the backing made of plastic? Never had a pair of 700ffs.

 

Maybe I will be your guinea pig. I will get in contact with you in a month. I will probably send you the HIDs and the lights and maybe you could just assemble. . PM me prices. Thanks again!

 

A six pack of Dos XX my friend and $4 bucks for the rubber grommets. The way I see it, you're already spending the money on shipping and parts, I'm just helping out.

 

500ffs have clear lense and cost a little more.........these are the ones pictured.

I will probably go ahead and finish up the ones I have and will post them up for sale in about 2 weeks.

 

Funny thing! I have the 500FF's on my Grille Guard and ordered the same Xentec Slim 35W kit you used in your kit and am waiting on them to come in so I can mod my lights! Great minds think alike! Haha. Did you have any trouble with the retainer holding the bulb in well enough to not need epoxy? I don't want to go that route either and not be able to change the bulbs. I saw you said that you used zip ties.

 

Don't need to epoxy them but if you want you could probably put a little bit of silicone on them to keep them in place......if you ever needed to change the bulb it's easier to take silicone off than epoxy. I used zip ties to hold them in place. I think you could probably do a combo of zip ties and silicone.

 

Good idea! Thanks I'm gonna try that! Hopefully they come in this week. I don't think the epoxy would ever come off of there lol. Time for a new set of lights at that point!
