HIDs in JDM Headlights! YES!!!!!!!!

Ok, I finally got my JDM Headlights from E-Bay, they are awesome, went to turn em on after wiring and install, and 1 Low beam is out. So I am not a patient man and didn’t want to wait to order new bulbs.

I had a set of H4 HIDs sitting around the house, so I figured I would MAKE em fit.

I used H4 HIDs that are basically just a narrow bulb with a plastic round base glued on that makes em fit the H4 mounting, so I ground that down to a 30mm Diameter so they were the same size around as a H4H Base.

Then I dis-assembled the H4H Bulbs themselves, removed the bulb, wire tabs and plastic tab base so all I had left was the actual mounting ring with tubular base and slid it over the back of the HID Base, it matched up perfectly and the lighting capsule is in the exact location of where the old filiment would have lined up. I then used High Temp Industrial Epoxy and glue the bases in place.

So, after 2 hours of messing with everything, it’s done, and the light output is Amazing. Since the bulb is in the right spot, depth wise, the light cutoff is perfect and not blinding like a lot of H4H to H4 Conversions I have heard of. And no modification to the Headlights was needed.

So, I took no pictures on how to do this, so does anyone in Washington with JDM Headlights want to purchase a set of HIDs and let me Modify them to fit for you? In return I will take pictures and show everyone else how to do it, you get free labor outta me.

Let me know if i have any takers.

just take pictures of the finished product first so we can see what they look like.

:gotpics:

All I coudl show is the light output, I ain’t pulling the setup to show the bulbs, at least not this week. I will try to put up pics tomorrow.

Wow I woulda been afriad of damaging those HID bulbs=(

lols anyhow thats a pretty cool idea, I should try it … hmm…

I’m interested in how they turned out

It would be great to see pics…

Pictures would be great

OMG PLEASE TAKE PICS OF THE CUT OFF!!!

thanks.

BUMP for pics!!!

do you still have high beams? if so how did you do that? i have hid’s but my highs dont work.

There’s a special HID bulb where you can have High and Low Beams together made for HID kits…

I remember seeing it somewhere if im correct… but its expensive…

Hid in one piece

are they projectors or just the HId kit with bulbs and ballasts?

…wow you jus got a lot of people excited. Deliver or be e-stoned.

How bout a new smiley?
:HIDfaker:

They are bulbs and ballast.

Are you saying my HIDS are fake?

true HID’s are projectors.
what you have are just a high kelvin rating bulb and a ballast to power it. if i understand correctly the projector puts focus on the beam. you have none

hmm alright. Well I guess I have “fake” High intensity discharge lights with very great light output. They are 35 watts of satisfaction.

No sir I’m saying that a lot of “fakers” come on here saying that they have done whatever the hot new conversion is but then when its time to put up pictures they fade into the crowd.
