HID Headlights Write-up!!!
Well I installed my HID headlights the other day and thought some of you might want to see were I hide all the stuff(ballast, ignitors, and relay). So far the lights have made a tremendous improvement over the stock lights. This pair of HID lights has now been in 3 different Jeep Wranglers(getting my $ worth). So unfortunately I have no information on purchasing new ones. Well here are the photographs -

Overview - The relay can be seen to the right of the battery. Attached with one bolt to the side of the battery tray. You can trace the red positve lead from the battery back to the relay in the photograph.

With stock lights it looks like you are in a parking lot but, with the HIDS, you can clearly see you are on a road!!
I wonder how many times I have left my Jeep parked in the middle of a street! :eyemouth:
(btw, thanks fpr the write-up. I look forward to doing this myself when I come across the funds!)
Those are pricey. I like the Xenon kits. Wonder if somebody is running one of these.

Well my kit has high beams but they are halogen bulbs. So they really do nothing other than get you one step closer to being street legal. I have been meaning to hook my Baja Designs HID driving lights up to the high beam switch but have not gotten around to it.
