    Converting Hella 500FF's to 55W HID

    So after some reading and spending I decided to convert my Hella's to HID. I followed Mastacox's lead and got the DDM 55w. Only difference is that he had the 700FF's. My order was backordered which was fine because I've been busy but they showed up today and I've stayed up past my bedtime.








    Unbolted them from the bumper. They are full of bugs but oh well, the HID's will burn them off.




    Here is the back side with the H3 bulb.




    Here is my version. I removed the Hella clip and made my own spring clip with some wire.






    Walla.



    My plan is to make a mounting bracket for the 2 ballasts so they sit behind the bumper and not the grill. They will still get plenty of air but not be in the path of water from driving and rocks and other road debris. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow.
