Omg.... i likey,
looks fantastic. Even though it took like half a second to fireup.

 

thnx lol ill just live with it ....i look at it like this backing up slowly or just wait that half second to fire up lol i think ill just wait ...

 

I want to know if you used the stock wiring as well?? or did you run seperate power to it & a relay from stock wiring?? & I am dying to know this!! Please spill the beans, marcemarcBOB..... thanks for the reply & thanks in advance for a FUTURE DIY on how you stuck a 35 watt bulb into your stock fixture!! Explain that one too,. Man!! All the glory to ya!! Good Job! jh

 

seriously madd props. I really am wondering how you did it also. Inquiring minds want to know

 

its not the prettiest looking bulb but it worked...it involved taking the hid bulb apart....not gunna lie i had to use some crazy glue for it to stay cuz i didnt want to retrofit the bulb in there...but it was a wierd process not exactly what i planned but it works...

 

So basically what you're saying is that Mickey Mouse assisted you...

 

it will be redone soon....just need to go back to my original plan...taking the old socket and drilling a hole through it and shaving the top and bottom so the bulb can go through and epoxy the hid to the socket and the clips will fit it...better....

like now i just crazy glued it to a socket i made and siliconed around the edges... but into the lens its snug ....i just want to make a cleaner looking install

 

I'm sure you worked it out fine, obviously just having fun with you.

 

ya no hard feelings trust me ...i know im capable of so much more and i just was excited to do it ...i had nothing else to do at work and i figure i play around and see what i can come up with ...

 

What about the electrics?? Did you re-wire?? or just use stock Wiring???? .. thanks for telling, but I am going to guess that you didnt do any re-wiring.. just stuck to stock...?? right? or wrong??... curious...... jh

 

well i did the test with stock wiring sometimes it turned on sometimes it didnt so i had to add a relay and found a 12 volt in the rear ....similar to a relay harness for a hid kit..

 

I would love to do this, however I'm so technologically uninclined (is that a word?)that I would have to pay someone to do it for me. HAHA

 

Thanks for that answer, marcemarcxB08........ alot of us were wondering about the stock wiring holding up even if it was just for short bursts........ Anyway you can draw up a diagram on "How To" correctly wire a 'relay' & seperate power??? thanks in advance... jh

 

without the relay it powers fine it just didnt work a couple of times but i just decided to add a relay...

 

agreed. if you give a wiring diagram and kinda DIY everyone will basically worship you

 

can you show us 'how' you did this wiring??? thanks in advance... jh

 

 

anyone else have success doing this?

 

so whats good to use BESIDES the HID way? i don't have that much money for an hid bulb right now
