Wyoming B.S. Thread

why both? What would you go with?

 

Maybe that should be @mrsBlackdawg

 

what? I said go for the HID spots you posted. Be cheaper than building a set from hella 500s

 

How? And not as bright. 105 each light vs 65+88 for a pair of Hellas and hid kits
The lights I posted are only 35w (tho the video claimed it puts out the light of 55w whatever that means)

 

oh..nevermind. Hella lights are way cheaper then i remember haha

 

unless you got something different than the 500 or 500ffs.

Do you really think the retro fit hellas with the 55w HIDs will be substantially better than the HIDs i posted? I do have to go through the moderate amount of work to drill the back of the hella housing and mount the HIDs

the pro comps look a bit more durable too...And if I wanted to could I just put in a 55w bulb in the pro comp ones I posted when/if they go out and make them brighter?

edit: looks like its all about the ballast (im learning) so if I wanted brighter lights, gotta get the 55w kit you posted

 

Idk if you could get the ballast to work on the pro comp lights if you tried that.

Think mine were the 500ff

Brighter? Idk. I do think that the procomps will be a better spot because the reflector bowl is deeper so it'll make a more focused spot vs the hellas which will have a better spread.

Couldn't say which would be better though. Hellas will be a lot small(thinner)

 

better spread, sounds nice, and they are still long range enough they will go weeellllll beyond the head lights ya?
also, seems like a way easier conversion than i thought

 

my led sun headlights are quite nice thanks

 

Yes mine still had a very good spot. Goes damn far. I still have 2 mounted on Frank. Still the brightest lights on him.

700s are about 8'' big. never ran them. I fit 4 hella 500s on the front of early Frank though.

 

Many light photos hear that show the Hellas. Were on the roof then: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...trail-rig-and-bs.159436/page-146#post-6443377

 

I'm ready for the flak, but I bought a pair of these obvious Truck-Lite/Rigid knock offs that had good reviews... I'll align them and test tonight. Figure it is worth trying for $73 and see if I can save myself the $360 for the real ones haha.

Haha, pass, looks like wouldn't be seeing much of that blinker at night and I really don't want a switchback headlight lol

 

Seems to have convieniently missed that post

 

lol forgot to respond.

I told her that. But she said, we aren't married!. So...miss it was. haha

 

Well ya fuckin sold me. Easily the biggest improvement were the 500s. cheap, easy, bright AF. looking at other posts 6k seems too blue, so i think id opt for 5500.

next round of buying starts in 4 weeks, after i pay rent and finish round 2 of maintenance

 

and like clockwork...every couple of years i totally remove and redo all the wiring in my truck as i add enough stuff that just shoving more wire in doesen't work anymore. So when i start this next wave of fun mods, imma pull out all the wiring, get new switches, employ some relays, and make everything cleaner

 

Get a bussman if you can swing it. Super clean install that way.

You can't do this install 100% as you can't use the mounting bracket i used. But you can figure out something similar. check it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...nkensteins-helper.390488/page-4#post-13214812
