Default 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.
