True HID kit for 7" round pop ups
So...I was thinking and thinking...many people have been asking around for a true HID kit for our 7" round sealed beams.
Well...I think I may have found a solution...that should be less then $300. Here are my thoughts...if you do the H4 bulb conversion first...so your 1st gen now takes an H4 bulb....logic would say...since your car now takes an h4 bulb...it should be able to take a HID h4 bulb right? So...I am in the middle of working with a company on getting H4 HIDs onto my car. I will let my car be the guinea pig and see how it goes. If it is a success, I will share the pics and info and get all interested parties on board. If you already have the H4 bulbs on your 1st gen...then it should be plug and play.... Gimme a couple more weeks...I dont have the money! Also...if you are local to So Cal they can install for you for a small fee...and takes less than an hour or so. :fingersx: So fingers crossed this will work and work very easily...and anyone can have true HID w/ ballasts and ignitors etc...the whole shebang. |
Pics of finished product would be great

Awesome, cant wait

Sweet...cant wait to see some pics. HID's would be nice...

If you use the H4 housings though won't the light pattern be all over the place? HID's need specific projectors to work correctly don't they?

That is a good question. I will ask the installer dude from the HID kit company about that. Apparently they have done tons of conversions before with no problems...but I def ask about the light output. as for wacky and 85 FB way to hijack my thread bastids! :fawk: EDIT = as for the $300 price it is only a estimate right now...but that is the cheapest around for a full kit meaning... 7" Round H4 replacement housings - $65-$100 depending on where you go! HID kit (bulbs, ballasts and wires) $200 |

Can't wait. I've been meaning to upgrade my lights for months.
|
I was about to say.. Wouldn't you need to upgrade the electricals?

It just makes sense to me...H4 bulbs = H4 HIDs right? Well...lets hope so! |
Hopefully this can actually be made because i am very interested in an H4 HID headlight system.

waking the dead
Did anyone ever finish this project or something like it? I was going to do this with a black dragon wiring harness, infiniti fx45 complete hid setup, H4 to D2S/D2R Adapters, and ebay 7" round headlights (undecided on lens color, housing color,projectors). :scratch::dunno:
|
hids would be nice, but i think its not necessary. just get some good replacement lights. you'll only be out 35 dollars instead of 300.

Stock alternator seems to have as much as it can barely handle running normal headlights, wipers, and vent fan on rainy nights...
|
You still won't have a proper HID. There will be no projectors with the correct cutoff of a legal HID system.

Those headlights appear to be slowly pushing that car backwards...

Yes true HID with Hella H4 housings.
