hid off road lights....
 

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 !

PICS BELOW

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.

looks good.. so where did the bumper come from? That is the best lookin front bumper that aint stock ive seen on these trucks.:rocking:

haha i made the bumper... not finished yet... but thanks.

:U:

nice

so I dont know the first thing about "HID" what type of kit do I need to buy to just swap my Head lights?

Excellent job !

what happened to the pics? sounds interesting.

yeah, no pics here, i'd love some more info

i moved them, i'll get them back up.

man thats an awesome set-up I never thought about doing that I have been wanting some nice HID lights myself. Thanks for the info :U::U:

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

Excellent post !

thanks!

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.

how did u get ur headlights normal, "not shinin the tops of trees"

i have the projector headlight assy.
i just took some time and aimed them. i also have an HID kit in them.

is that just bulbs or was it the whole head light assembly i seen the recon ones on the 06 and up trucks and love em cant seem to find them for my 99 tho

if you mean my headlights, here's what i have:
