    All the ones I looked at were either made in China, or advertised as "not Chinese junk, these are made in Korea"...:rofl:

    Yeah no worries... His seller ID is Nissangtrpower. He usually does a listing for multiple bulb types and color temps to you will have to specify the bulb style and kelvin rating. Install is pretty simple but if anyone doing this gets questions let me know.

    Also for those that have never done an HID conversion... when you first turn the light on you may here a slight buzz/ring for the first few seconds as the balasts heat up but it fades within a few seconds. Also after about two minutes after they are warmed up they usually blink slightly once. Both things are normal and have happened with every kit I have done... first time worried me at first so I figured I'd post it. Anyway, let us know how you like it!

    Well first I did the H4 conversion... got that through quadratec... then I oredered the H4 6000k HID's. Without the conversion I don't thinks HID's would be possible

    No hi/lo...just low. But I don't need a high with how much these put out. I never use my Hi's in my truck although I still can. I figure I have the aux lights too if I ever need....but no, it would take 2 sets of balasts and bulbs to keep the highs.

    no hi/low is the first bummer I see, when people flash you there will be no way to "super- blind" them back. can you post a pic at night I would like to see the cut off if possible . I just have some cheapie AutoPal's h4 with 60/55w,,, run with no relay on stock wiring (I think).

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    H/L would come in handy for back-up lights.......

    and what EXACTLY are you saying there Jim.............
     
  13. jpflat2a

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    low beam for normal back-ups
    high beam for not-so-normal back-ups
    the more light the better I would think

    uhhhhmmmmmm ,it seems that your implying something about the not so normal backups........
     
  15. jpflat2a

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    since back-up isn't in my vocabulary, I don't need the lights
    I make the hills
    these should give you plenty of light Steve
    maybe you can use them for undercarriage or rock lights as well.
    that would then light up the whole area.

    well I thought the h4's were not because of the pattern they throw, these would be way ,way brighter so.......... do we have a resident H.P.officer here ??? I'll ask around they would be as bright as those stupid rice burner cars.then we could put neon lights under my jeep....

    Sorry guys... just got back from moab... the lights do not say dot approved on them so I'm not on the legalities. Here locally you have to have hi/lows to pass the yearly inspection but I can put the halogens in with ease. I didn't get any night pics in moab but will take some soon and post them
