OEM Clone Headlight HID/Projector Retrofit Project [video update]

[THE YETI]

so, if you put people in the back of the hyhoe and the projector beam makes people start flashing you with the high-beams, are you gonna kick em out and make em walk?

 

[soulsea]

I dunno bud I'm not a chauffeur so the chances of me having two people in the back without having two in the front are rather slim. But when you come to visit you can just sit in the back and if she doesn't bottom out we'll give it a go.

Quick update ...

It's almost been a month now since I had these installed and I couldn't be happier. They've been trough 110F heat index, pouring rain, hurricane, DC streets, and so far have held up perfectly. Not a single person has flashed their lights at me day or night. We'll see how they hold up over the winter but so far so good.

On a side note ... I've had a 2" rear drop leveling kit sitting in the closet for a few weeks torn as to whether to install it or not for fear of raising the projectors' beam angle and blinding oncoming traffic. I had all but given up on the prospect of putting it on and I was going to sell it, but now I'm thinking I might take a run at it. We were conservative with the beam pattern height so perhaps I have a little room to go up.

So when I have some time next week I will indeed have it installed and see what happens ... worse case scenario my lights will go too high and I'll just take it off and sell it.

Cheers!

Is your HyHoe Autoride/4x4? If not, what is it? I am still pondering this 2" rear drop as well.. for both the Esky and Avy...

Ah yours is 4x4/AutoRide? You have the 2/3 though correct? I was referring to the 2" rear drop.

 

[soulsea]

Yeah I remember looking for a rear 2" drop for you Felix but could never find one for the autoride trucks.

Thanks for lookin out... i've been leaning towards KMel's route by leveling the front end too.. still can't decide

 

[soulsea]

Please please don't level the front of your Esky.

 

[felixgun]

Please please don't level the front of your Esky.

LOL I think that's the same response you gave me last time I brought it up.

Pros of leveling front: Does NOT affect ride and it's LEVEL

 

[THE YETI]

i thought 4x4/Autoride stood for 4x4 OR Autoride. Mine is just Autoride. But I think yours is AWD, not 4x4.

So is a 2-3/4 drop and bears can't hibernate in thy cavernous wheel wells.

 

[THE YETI]

yeah... Serge, if 2" drop makes the beams go up, drop the front another 1".

Esky is AWD/autoride and Avy is 4x4/autoride.

2/3 affects ride unless you go all out and get helper bags and do free travel mod which requires cutting : /

 

[soulsea]

Mmm, back to trying to find a suitable 2" rear drop for autoride then ... I wonder if the non-autoride one can be modified in some way?



So that's all that about my lights then.
