Round 5 Kragen 7''and 4'' HID offroad lights and LED light bar GB starting now 5/15

ok. Sorry if i confused u. but i ran a 12 gage wire from battery to the relay with a 20 amp fuse(power for lights). and i had a 5 amp fuse and wire to a switch that turns on the relay(power to make relay work/turn on).

I used 12 gage wire because i am runing 75w HIDs.

 

well my lights came in today. it'll probably be a little bit til i install them, waiting for a some switches from ottratw. Initial thoughts:

pros: appear to be of good quality. reputable seller. shipped priority. always got a reply when sent a pm. nice discount with gb

cons: falsely advertised as kragens, delayed shipping from noted date. delayed responses from seller (but always responded).

 

not totally sure what you're saying here, 'kragen doesn't make any of them'

going off what i've hear about them not being kragens, i'd assume if they were a name brand they would not come in white unmarked boxes without any info pamphlets of any sort. therefore IF this is true the items are as pictured as you would not be able to tell the difference from a picture. but not as described as they're described as kragens.

 

fair enough, i wouldn't know anything about buying in bulk. but I'm sure i will be happy with them. everything i've heard has been great about them. just sharing my initial thoughts as a new buyer.

 

chris Thanks for your feedback ,that helps us to improve our customer services.
we made a mistake on the kragen thing, we will not using "kragen" in our next gb Thank you for pointing out our mistake

 

Great pics

 

i assumed the same until i heard differently. but alls well that ends well. as long as they perform properly i'll be happy. will post pics as soon as i have them installed!

 

ok thats what i was thinking, thanks for the info and sorry for making it confusing... where did you mount the relay?

 

I put mine right next to the battery, there is all ready a threaded screw hole there. I wanted to put them somewhere else, like a fuse box, but did not happen. Not enough room.

 

Hope this helps.

Pretty much same experience as others. Checked with gt - lights should have been here by now, think USPS may have lost them...agh.

Gtlightingusa, any idea how hard it is to change bulbs in these lights? Also, what style bulbs are they - D2S? Would maybe like to swap them out to 4300k sometime in the future.

 

same here man, id like to know a bulkb changing, or can you supply with a lower bulb range?? 6k i think is whats in it now, and in the land of the north when snow flies, i cant see shit when my lights are blue

 

hi we did ship your lights on 8th. the tracking shows has been delivered ,i will call usps to find out tomorrow.

 

Oh, okay - sorry about the confusion - your email said that the lights shipped on the 21st, I think you meant delivered. Thanks a bunch, appreciate it!

 

Jin,

Just got the lights - they were delivered to the wrong house by accident.

Excellent packaging - lights feel really solid. Liking the stainless hardware, too.

Might get them wired up tonight.

If there is any interest, I installed a blue seas fuse block, and a relay. I can start a thread if anyone would like to see how I did the install.

Will try and get some night shots. Kind of difficult when it doesn't get dark until 1 AM.

 

hahaha someone further north than me , i bitch about the daylight in summer all the time!!! up north here in alberta, i was fishing the other night until 12am when i realized i was suposed to return the canoe at 9pm

oh well, i guess i bought a canoe lol,


won't be long though and you'll need those suckers on all the time

 

55w 7" tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light outputa, 55w 6000k will look similar in color to a 35w 43k-5k
