hid off road lights....

19psi · #1 07-19-2009, 04:00 PM

so i've had HID projectors since the first month i bought the truck, very nice.
well, i've been wanting some bad HID spot lights too but couldn't justify the $$ for a set of DC, LIGhtforce, etc.
so i made my own....
1. buy a set of h3 hid off ebay for $54 shipped.
2. buy a set of harbor freight off road lights for $24.99.
3. disassemble light units, install hid kit.
4. enjoy !

lookin good. did something similar on the dmax, cheap pro comp race lights with HID conversions. Don't stand a chance against real HIDs, but brighter than halogens.

Where did you mount the ballasts? Is there enough wire? did you have to extend the wire?

Excellent post !

Excellent post !

the ballasts i mouinted behindthe bumper on the cross braces, just using zip ties. there was plenty of wire, probably a foot at least; no mods necessary. i just used a standard fog light harness that i already had installed so it was as simple as using that as the power supply.
i'd have used the stock fog light harness to power them for a completley factory circuit but my switch is bad.
