well my lights are KC's 100 watt kit lights and im putting in 130watt kc bulbs. i bleive they called baja off road lights at sum Advance Auto stores those have the same housing as the KC's lights and the 100 watt cheapy ones at wallmart u can pop kc stuff on them and they will work fine if u want to go that route. i mean really i bought the lights for the name. but at not bad of a price sum of the kits ate in the higher hundreads and really no need to if u know what to do. the one kit is their new off road hids. all u need to do is buy the inverters i believe the hids have and just buy the HID h3 bulbs and dah da!! lol cheaper!

well if u want to switch lights over first off i would suggest going out and buying a cheap set of 100 watt light bulbs. the ones the housing looks like a KC light that can replace the light bulb. i would then purchase this http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID/H...-p5189643.html


I would then switch out the bulbs and run the lines.. note u might have to work the line in sum how have to work to get the new wire in but make sure to have sum kind of rubber gasket or even JB weld it after u get it set. wouldn't be that hard to do.

only problem i would see is there not gonna be as strong as the Off road HIDS im not sure. i don't use HID's no see why change over when my silvians beat the HID's if put them next 2. and then i throw on my KC's and blow out there minds lol.

but to me that be the cheapest way of running HID's in a off Road housing. not that hard to do speically when the wires are in a different kit. if anyone trys it let me know. Near me (less then an hour) wants to do it i wouldn't mind giving an extra hand.
