8-High MOD - HEADLIGHTS

[BlizzardX23]

So I've wanted to do the 6-High mod ever since I was in Iraq and reading the write-ups....Now that I've been back and had my truck for the last 4 months, I finally got my lazy ass up and did it...but I've included my DRLs


Now, whenever my Low Beams are on, my DRLs stay on...I think it looks kinda kool...plus, no other Kons out here are running with any sort of light mods, so it stands out just with the headlights on

High Beams come on...as well as Lows, DRLs, and Fogs!!!

yea I put orange Light bulbs in my DRL and attached a diode to the lowbeam relay. Looks killer.

By the way...I wanna thank RT! I used his write-up over at TahoeForum...thanks bro for the good detail

hmmm...Red bulbs in the DRLs...Illegal but they'd match my grill hehe

 

[tybardy]

well, as you know, much of the info at TF is wasted.... you mind doing a write up as well as the cost assosiated with this mod..

BTW... welcome blizz, ive been wondering where the hell you were!! good to see ya

 

[Fyrcaptain]

I like that.....hopefully someone will grab it and bring it on over......

What's the deal on your lower grill?

 

[BlizzardX23]

I have an IbisTek light bar from a Humvee with one IR Driving light in middle and a set of HID driving lights on the outside...I've painted it black and everything to match...just never got around to finding someone to make me a custom bracket to mount it...its going to have to be attatched to the frame since thats the only mounting point down there.. =( Will have to be some very odd shaped brackets to fit lol..I'll post up some pics right now..


it doesnt look too great in this pic because it sticks out so far...but when its pushed back, it doesnt look too bad...I'd make a mesh grill for the edges to fill it out

Could you please do a write up an/or copy and paste the info you used, I'm very intrestered in doing this, thanks!

danalimax what bulbs do you have in the Fogs???

 

[danimalmax]

danalimax what bulbs do you have in the Fogs???

those are 880 hids 5000k, i meant to get 4500k though, so ill get those instead soon

 

[jmildoc]

oh so its an HID kit?? How is that holding up? why dont you like the 5000k?

 

[danimalmax]

its a hair too blue compared to the 4300ks in the headlights, so 4500k will match up better


the hid kit is from ddm, its holding up very well, super bright, in fact its completely bright enough to drive with only my fogs on

im thinking about adding another set of grille lights to the ones already in there so there would be a total of 4 hidden grille lights and convert all 4 to hid as well, because i just realized that you can get hid for h3 bulbs

12 high mod here i come!

 

[jmildoc]

Thats NUTZ Man..... so you wanting to sell that kit to me when you get a new one.... I also gotta get one from RT I have been meaning to get, but its for the brights.... Maybe I will put it in the regular headlights......

 

[danimalmax]

haha i dont think ill be selling my kits, i only need to replace the bulb

i do want to find out if anyone has experience with the h3 bulbs in hid though, how bright are they?

cause right now the grille lights are bright enough to hurt my eyes and all but dont project light very well, just like the 9005 silverstars in my DRLs, they are very bright, really hurt my eyes but the light is scattered all over the place, but thats just the design of the DRLs anyway, so im not bothered by that

anyway how bright are h3 hids, anyone?

It really depends on your headlights. A 9005, 9003, h3, h1, 9006, 9007, 9008, etc. When were talking HID, are all THE SAME BULB, just a different base. So an H3 35W kit will be just as bright as a 9005 35W kit. It just depends on the housing. Also If the beam in your aux lights is not projecting light very well, THey are probably flood beam. On your next pair make sure to get the fog or spot beam paddern.

for the DRLs, i simply took an old pair of 9005 bulbs that i used to have in my headlights before i got the xenarcs, how would i go about getting fog beam 9005s?
