HID conversion on Hella 4000

[BruceTS]

I've been wanting to install HID driving lights, but the Hella HID's are way too expensive. I decided to try one of those inexpensive kits off ebay. For $80 it was worth the gamble.....
As for construction it seems well made, but there was no label to say where they were produced.


edit* they are made in Japan




Installing bulbs was a simple plug n' play

Since the kit came with grommets, I decided to drill a new hole into the housing, this way I still have the option to use standard H1 bulbs....

Ballast mounted, double sided tape that was supplied with the kit plus I added a hose clamp for extra hold down. Spliced and soldered wiring....


Now for the testing, them things are BRIGHT! Sorry no pictures...they came out all white

Does your engine tolerate the drain better with the HID's?

Bruce, do you know what ebay vendor you got those from? Also, are those 35W and H3? Thanks.
