Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
This was my previous set up I had but never used due to a defective bulb. Never buy hid kits from eBay I learned it the hard way. The eBay seller Hids4less2008 would not honor his warranty and went under shortly after. But the wiring harness, 2 ballasts, and one bulb were good.
But my new H4 6000K hi/low RT HID KIT with Hella E-Codes 200mm (H6054 to H4 adapter) will be much better. I have been busy and could not to install them.

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
I've bought a few HID convertion kits from HIDoutdoorEquipments on ebay, and all have worked just fine. I put them in the car for the summer, and in my plow lights for the winter. The housings have LED bulbs for the halo that isn't the best, but works well enough:
Then I have it with the headlights on, but I believe these are just my blue coated halogen like bulbs
This is a cool pic I did with all the bulbs
I did a comparasine video with my Jimmy too at http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...DvsHalogen.flv

fast82z, thats a nice setup!
KITT1983, those housings on the link that you provided will work in the Firebird (H4666)?

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
Thanks cooltc2004!
Everything I see in his link goes for a h6054 bulb which is usually considered a 7" x 6". An h4666 is a 4" x 6" housing, also refered to as an h4656 for the same size wise.

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
my car is a 83 pontiac trans am ar you sure its h4666 and not h6054 it should be the same from 82-92 some bulb sites are wrong they also stated that i need an h4666 bulb
my car still had the stock H6052 (the standard nonhalogen bulb discontinued somewhere in the late 80s)
nice set up fast 82z
9/11/2001 we will never forget!!!

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
After looking it up, 3rd gen T/A's take an h6054 headlight. I was thinking of the 93-97 trans ams as those take the h4666 bulb as do the 77-81's.

It looks allright, but make sure its glass not plastic. Autopal? Do some research on this brand?

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
Well from my understanding I would still need the wiring harness as the h6054 sealed beam lamp connector is different then the h4 bulb. So if I did'nt have the wiring harness it would short something out and cause a fire? Also what are the maximum wattage you could use with this setup? From what I have read you could as burnout a fuse if there is too much wattage to the h4 bulb.

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
actually the h4 and the h6054 conector are the same thing, no need to splice the wire the KYO adapter is to protect the factory wiring harness from burnout.

Re: HID kit for my Knight 2000
DO YOU NEED TO DO THIS?Typically, if you keep your bulbs at 100W or lower, you will have little problem with meltdown of the OE wiring or controls as long as the wiring is in good shape and all connectors in the circuits are clean and free from corrosion. The only problem you might have is less than optimum voltage at the bulb. All automotive bulbs are rated at 13.5V, the output of the typical alternator. Any less than that and you start losing output from the bulb in a hurry. First you want to measure the output of your alternator, at the alternator. With the engine off, hook your VOM leads to the alternator securely. Start the engine and note the voltage. Shut off the engine and move the leads to the back of the bulb you want to check. Start the engine, turn on the lights and note the voltage at the bulb – you can do this for both high and low beam. If the difference between the output of the alternator and the voltage at the bulb is One Volt or more, you might consider upgrading your wiring as described here.
For reference, here are the pin connections for an H4 Bulb or Lamp. All are looking at the back of the bulb/lamp.
And shown below is the wiring you want to do if you are putting relays in the lighting circuits to handle higher wattage bulbs.
For reference, here are the pin connections for an H4 Bulb or Lamp. All are looking at the back of the bulb/lamp.
And shown below is the wiring you want to do if you are putting relays in the lighting circuits to handle higher wattage bulbs.
There are two options for putting in the relays – One, you can use the existing wiring and connectors in the car. If you intend on restoring the headlamps to original before you sell the car, this might not be a good option. If the OE wiring is suspect for any reason, this is also not a good option. Two, you can start from scratch with a couple of my relay kits, a couple rolls of 14AWG automotive wire, two lengths of 12AWG automotive wire; one in red and one in black, and two replacement H4 connectors from a good automotive parts store. The NAPA/Echlin number is LS 6246 and the Calterm number is 08521. You build the harness from scratch and the only connections to the original wiring in the vehicle is the two control leads from pins 86 on the relays to the original Low and High beam circuits.
I’ve noted on the drawing where various sizes of wire should be used. If you run two separate wires from pins 87 to the two lamps on each relay, you can do that with 14AWG. As I’ve show in the drawing, I have you running 12AWG to a splice point and then 14AWG to each of the lamps. If you prefer to wire it that way, ensure you solder each splice and protect them with shrink tube or good electrical tape. If your application uses a H4666, H6545, H4668, or H4656, change the pin connections shown above as appropriate.
