I converted a Cibie Oscar light 10 years ago to HID, back then the ballasts were really big with a separate igniter, been running it on my LT500 ever since. Just put a Hi/Lo beam HID in a Baja Designs DOT legal headlight on my DRZ400, way brighter than the 80/100W H4 and is only 35 watts. Trippy thing is the way you get Hi & Lo beam from 1 HID, it has an solenoid and controller, hit Hi and bulb slides back into holder, Lo and it slides back out refocusing the light on the reflector. :ban-split::assblast::beercheers:

Well the way I see it is the cheapst HID light i have found is about 100bucks. I just got a 20% coupon from harbor freight, so i am planning on buying 6 of their 50W H3 halong lamps and putting HID kits in them. Each kit is roughy 50 bucks from a local supplier here in So Cal. So do the math.

6 HID 6 inch lights at $100 each = $600 plus tax

6 H3 6 inch lights at $15 each = $90 + 3 HID H3 Kits for $50 each = $210!!!!!!! thats a $390 savings.

look at my siggy....call Bryan. he got me a good deal, tell him you saw it on DDR from me. He is a good guy, he will warranty your ballast if it goes out. I got a set from him for my Ranger. Ill also get a set for my Pathfinder and maybe even a set for my Accord. My buddy Dave is getting 2 sets from him for his Dodge and Ranger.
