HID Conversion

Been kicking around the idea of HID conversion.. my question is, will the stock lenses work, or do they make a more clear aftermarket lens/housing??

no matter what you would have to get aftermarket lenses as the stocks are sealed bulbs

 

as jmmy said, better off to do a projector retrofit

They would be nice to get but do they make them? or do you have to fab yourself?

Get these. Cut/Paste item # into Ebay's browser as their links have not worked for a couple months now.

HID kit 280529648079

 

The HID kit has a true lifetime warranty on ballasts and bulbs. Not a bad deal really.

awesome links.. thanks! what size bulb would i need to use, though? i would want the 6000k bulbs, but don't what the conversion size would be after converting my lenses to the first link you provided...

 

EDIT.. nevermind.. the power of actually reading the auction page. they use H4 bulbs.. until i contradict myself again.. heh

 

EDIT AGAIN... these looked pretty awesome.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-x5-SQUARE-SEALED-BEAM-HALO-HEADLIGHTS-CONVERSION-KIT-/190482909895?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model:Conquest|Submodel:TSi&hash=item2c59aa8ac7#ht_4546wt_1167

Those are two pieces of the puzzle, you need a projector to properly harness the light output of the HID bulb. Just putting an HID bulb in a reflector housing is not good enough, besides the glare, the light will be scattered all over and you will not be able to see as well even though the light is brighter.

For another option on HID bulb kits, try DDM Tuning at http://www.ddmtuning.com/

Their HID bulb kits run at $35, and the ballasts are nice and thin+small.

 

I'm running the HID kit for my fogs and even without a proper projector and Burton's light tint covers, the output is pretty bright. I plan to retrofit in some real projectors to get the best output.

this pick was a while ago but i managed to fix tho housing to direct light better. i cut up the back glued the part so it reflected light down. they work better but not like projectors. but 8k up top and 3k in my foggies
