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

 

i already have that blue sea fuse box/100a breaker I made a while back. Going to obviously run everything off that. While I like your method of only running ground into the cab, i want my switches to all light up, im still going to run power through the cab, and probably just run a relay for the hellas. but i got a while to figure that all out

 

Yeah this is a different bussman install..click the link haha

and if you get switches that light up. Do NOT get blue. For the love of god. Too damn bright. Just go for red/orange.

 

luckily some of the switches i want only come in red...just realized that my ARB ones are blue...guess we will have a theme of red for lights and blue for lockers haha

 

My Ditch light switch is blue..fucker is way to bright. I want to swap it out and will after I add some spots to the new bumper. Plus Then I can finally do my high beam interceptor mod.
