negative on that heavymetal: lighting up amurica one speed run at a time god i love yuengling. and heavy. that is all

[HeavyMetal]

with a little help from Jon and Phil we converted my Hella 4000s to HID, very simple job I must say. The kit is again from Black Knight Lighting (same as the LED stuff)

It is set up to be plug and play with the ballast system.

Have to disassemble the housing



Drill the hole for the wires and grommet to mount to/pass through



mount the bulb on the reflector housing behind the lens



hook up the ballast and mount it somewhere on the jeep



enjoy much increased light output



think thats about it for lights going forwards, next focus is getting the susp. joints replaced/tightened up, and then a few other odds and ends before the season gets underway full swing with work/fun

im not sure how well HID would work inside a stock housing..the HID is def super easy though, do it up!

what are you running for a battery?

what are you running for a battery?

edit: i cant remember the damn battery now. the one from sears. die hard gold i think? fuckin A.

the LEDs have very low draw, and the HIDs are 35w

at the end of the day there really isnt a lot of draw going on, which is another cool benefit of the current setup vs. my old one (way high draw all high watt halogen)

I've been thinking of upgrading my alternator and battery cables..

That looks hawt.

Does the kit you used work with H3 style bulbs, or did it replace the bulb in your Hellas entirely?

[Zullock Holmes]

stop playing wire boy and pull your arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suspension is clearly the most important aspect.

well FWIW the bulb in the 4000s is an H1, you need to get a kit that corresponds with whichever style you have. The bulb from the hellas is completely gone, its replaced with an H1 HID bulb

cant, i have to shoot video for crawl with it before i tear it down
