those headlights are near to crap.

the light pattern really sucks, I'm modding them to accept a HID conversion kit, just made one.

you got to remove some material with a grinder to enlarge the hole and make room for the xenon bulb.

I whish I hand't bought them... now I have to install.

I will put some pics when done..

 

well, i got some pics by my phone... not so good quality..

light pattern comparison... it sux [:@]

they come with a cheap H1 bulb, I'm replacing with HID, (they also come with a decal saying HID not allowed, I shouldn't go to jail for that).

below the driving lights assemly removed and grinded, and the material removed...

ill never buy these off of ebay. ill only buy used parts on there, got too much new stuff thats no good.

im gonna see what the local speed shop can find for me. i like the fact that theyre one full piece, but i hate that halo led ring. boo.

 

Nice pictures attila. I like your truck with the blue stripes.

So are you saying even with HID do not buy them? I tossed in some blue light bulbs 80/100w and the light is very bright. Mine sits in the stock lamps and I never thought about upgrading they work so well.

 

wasted money and time! anyway those items are quite good quality and sharp the only problem is the light pattern.

thanks for appreciating my truck :-)

 

I agree, the light patter is just a big blob and can be worse than halogens. Those projector lenses don't help either. A retro fit project is time consuming but it's better in the long run, just find you a Caddy or other scrapped car with HIDs and do a retro fit.
If you're looking for HIDs, don't get confused with a headlight having the projector lenses and also note that real HIDs "warm" up and that they don't just turn on to full power.

If it's just the angel eyes that you want, I can get you a write up (without pics...sorry) on how to DIY.

 

Oh, and good job on your retro fit Attila! and nice truck[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

thanks...
mhh if you are talking about heat, well HID's should generate less heat than halogen (35 watt instead of 55) and no incandescent element...

those lights also have a metal shield between the lens and the reflectos wich shapes the light pattern (cuts the top size not to get in the eyes). You could shape that shield to modify the pattern.

The stock pattern is much more similar to high beam. Here in Italy and Europe the driving lights must not point directly forward. Those aftermarket lenses has the street legal beam.

well, I'm fitting also a xenon strobe kit just to show at cars meetings I swear I won't waste money on those gadgets anymore, next step is stainless headers, CAI, and roller rockers just waiting for them coming in the bed of the SRT10 of my buddy!

 

for what you did congrats but i'm sorry about buying those lights..

looks good on the truck though i gotta say that. i just don't think looks are ever worth the price of performance.
