do you have halogen spotties now? You may be able to convert them to HID using a kit off ebay and the total cost is about 3-400 for a pair of lights. I did mine and the result is awesome
cost isnt really a factor , i want good lights and after spending tens of thousands of $$$$$$ on my car i think that to put inferior lights on it would be stupid.
LF XGT or Blitz's can fairly easily be converted to HID's.
Hella 155 and 181 use a H3 bulb. Buy a H3 HID kit.
Hella 1000's use a H2. H2 halide bulbs do not exist!
Hella 2000 and 4000 use a H1 bulb. Buy a H1 HID kit.
Dunno much about the PIAA and Supervision's.
If you want the maximum light output that one can possibly get at the cheapest price, buy four Blitz's off ebay, buy two 50w HID kits, and put these kits into them. Mount the four Blitz's on your roof. And *walla*.
4 lux at 2.5 kilometres!

fair enough then but listen to Bushy when he mentions the 50W HID kits then. Converting a pair of halogen spots with these I dare say you'll exceed the output of any off the shelf HID lightskrimnl wrote:-Mick- wrote:awesome but $$$

when i say cost isnt a factor , doesnt mean i have $$$ to throw away , i just want to get something that i will be happy with.

1 failed on the first day
When A mate first got his. We had to use a towel around the light to aim them as they got hot to quick. But geez there bright. Better than my HID rally4000's with 50w HID kit.Aus4wd wrote:With GE inserts ha i know the ones .they create alot of heat soyou would have to mount them on the roof-thats where he is putting them anyway
Darren if you already have 24v. Might be worth setting up with 2 500w lights in the center of roof (these fit into IPF 900 housings and cibi). And make up some spread beams for the outers.
But the 500w 24V draw 40amps (for a pair) and I think most of the 24V alt only put out approx 50-60amps at max. So would need to turn them of for winching.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....
I'd be going HID For the sake of not drawing 40 amps.
HID inserts work as well as original HID lights.
My question is should i run spots or spreads on my roof? Or a pair of each? I don't know that seeing 2.5km down the road is going to be of much assistance as i can only travel at 135km/h bor i redline!
