zedman240 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I've been thinking about doing an HID installation but a few things have to be thought out first. I do have a Hella ballast and HID globe with a H4 base but if you have an H4 insert without a light shield, you will annoy oncoming drivers. Plus, with my setup anyway, you will have to butcher the original headlight buckets by cutting a pretty big hole in the back and then having to make it weather proof. You will have to do some wiring unless the kit you want to buy comes with a pre assembled loom. HID systems do take a lot of current on startup (around 20 amps) then drop off to around 3-4 so you will have to install a realy. A zed light switch WILL melt at that current. I've heard of many different types of conversions so just do heaps of research and find a good one. With some conversions you do lose high beam! Edited August 21, 2009 by zedman240 left out a word!
