8K HID headlight conversion

Attached are pics of a new HID conversion kit I put on the Iroc. It comes with the 4 x 6 bulb which accepts an H4 HID bulb, the ballasts and harness. It took about an hour to install and I'm pretty happy with the look.

Re: 8K HID headlight conversion

actually, ... me. I'm a distributor, but I don't want to turn this into a for sale, commercial post. Conversion kit is from Race Sport HID and the H4 HID kit is from Lumens

Re: 8K HID headlight conversion

Mike what are you doing with the high beams? Did you do a clear housing to make them match?

Re: 8K HID headlight conversion

actually leaving the high beams factory.. the HID's put out enough light I don't need high beams, I have this same setup in the Cadillac and never use the high beams.. And yes the H4's are dual beam setup, but I'm using as a single beam so I don't have to change the factory wiring, just plug and play
