Lighting Question

Hey guys and gals. I will be installing 2 off road lights as soon as I get the bar...and figure out what I want. I have been looking on eGay, and found some Hella Black Magic lights that would look good with my color scheme (black/silver), but I also have the Slim HID kit installed. I guess what im asking is does anyone have some pics of their rig with HID heads and "normal" 4x4 lights? Any input would be great. Thanks.

Not sure if I am any help, as the question isn't clear to me... I have "normal" 4x4 lights (2 Hella 4000, 2 Kragen HIDs). I converted the 2 Hellas from 100 watt halogen to 35 watt/ 5000ºK HIDs. My Tacoma headlights are untouched halogens. See the sig. photo on the left... search my posts here in the lighting forum for a lot more photos.

 

Thanks man! Your pic is pretty much what i needed to see, the only difference is my headlights are HID and my Hellas wouldnt be. Do you know if there is a thread that gives instructions on how to convert the Hellas if I ever decide to?

 

Just find where I posted about doing it... Went to GG Lighting and a 'nice' guy (Cody) did the conversion in his parents' garage... When I got home (60 miles away) one of the balasts blew up... he sent me a new one... and the bulbs 4300ºK were not as white as I liked, so he was to send me 5000Ks, but he sent really blue ones he said were 6000 on accident, but they were probably 8000! Well... after a month, someone took over for Cody (who went silent after the fails) and we got better 5000s. The only issue is the lights flicker when warm... like a candle in a breeze when viewed them lighting a wall... Just cheap junk. So, spend a bit more for quality is my advice.

The slim ballast fits inside the 4000 Hella lamp. Let me know if you can't find my Hella 4000 conversion posts...

This is the how to write up I used to convert my Hella 500's to HID. It is a great write by Klipp11.http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/li...nversion-mount-behind-satoshi-how-w-pics.html

 

Yeah i thought about going the cheaper route, but my better judgement set in.

 

Shweller, I really like those headlights! I wish i wouldnt see all these cool lighting and small detail stuff. It is keeping me from getting my wheels and tires! UGH!

 

I hear you; I've spent a few dollars on mods ever since I joined TW. It seems to be a common side effect. The mod bug is contagious.

 

Cough Cough...I GOT A FEVA!
