    Good info Bajamoon. What's your take on converting hella lights behind the grill that are smoked? Pointless? I would love bright fog/off-roading lights BUT the secrecy of hiding them during the day time.

    I'm learning from you guys. Post updates should you convert. Perhaps a before and after pic at night.

    smoked light are stupid in my opinion, might as well paint them black. conversion on most lights is easy. i will sell my lightforce hid's soon so i can buy three soltek hid's.

    Ya they are much better now! No pics, there is a sticky at the top of the lighting page on converting the 700s, its the same for 500s, just follow the intructions! I went with the 55w HIDs in the 5k color and they rock now! Cant beat em for about 120$ for the swap including all parts! Any questions just ask!
