Doesn't look bad tho. If I pick up these 2 sets of Hella black magics one set will have a yellow bulb in it. I really want to see the compassion of a 120 watt set of halogens, a 5000k or 6000k hid, and a 5000k or 6000k led in the Hellas. If I get these 2 other sets I may do just that actually since I will have 3sets of pretty much the same light

The set you see above is not stocked by me, yet... I need to see if there is demand before I stock it, as it means bringing in a few models.

This is the kit: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/xhp-seri...onversion-kit/

You can see how it has different filters that go around the bulb to change the temperature... seems to work better then I honestly expected it to.

They don't have a ballast and it's an older style design. But for fogs, they work great.

I had two sets of rounds in front which i did like the look but the issue with HIDS you shouldn't turn them on and off as it can cause issues with the bulbs so I opted to keep the PIAA and put a 20 inch light bar with a wireless remote strobe relay for it in the place of the 9 inch HIDS . I do recommend a set of leds with its own relay and switch for the back much better when backing up at night or out in the woods . I might be looking into getting brackets to mount leds where the hood mets the windshield like the Raptors and jeeps . I just haven't found a vendor and good price yet .

LOL, it's cool gave me an idea on the reverse lights... round lights with headlight LED's built in... hmmm... might have to do some fabrication to really light things up.

I have dual 7" reverse lights myself... this is what you were talking about btw for the hood area like jeeps. This is my 2015 mind you
