Changed out my 100w KC Daylighter bulbs for some 35w 5000k HID bulbs from Jon_To. Went pretty quick since I had all the wires ran and have done a bunch of HID conversions before.


They take a couple seconds to warm up when cold, but are about as bright as my 9" Lightforces

evidently the forum is blocing the other website where these are hosted. replace the ******* with ford full size, no spaces, to see pics

Im not seeing anything, im replacing what you said but still not working. Anyway of hosting the pics on photobucket or something and reposting them?

ak_cowboy

Here's a link to the post with the pics. I'll host and link the direct pics later tonight. http://www.ford full size.com/forum/397607-post25005.html

that link didn't work either. But thanks for posting the pics. I had always wanted to do this if I ever got a set of used KC's. How's teh light output/beam pattern on the road at night?

ak_cowboy

Output is about the same as with halogen bulbs, I had spot beams, and they're still spot. But since the HID bulb is a little longer I have some more scattering up close. It's not as precise as it would be in a true HID housing, more of a 80% spot / 20% flood beam

shout out to [MENTION=27078]Jon_To[/MENTION] for providing the HID kit

steve392

yea i know it wont be as good as a true hid offroad light. But if i go this route, im going to get the fog/driving beam pattern as I dont want the pencil/spot beam pattern. I dont do any offroading and most of the roads around here aren't flat enough where a spot/pencil beam would be effective.

ak_cowboy

I would highly recommend it for that. Its probably close to double the light output vs the 100w bulbs. The only drawback is the warmup time.
