HID's FTW!!!!
 

SWEET!!!!

For my b day mr juice bought me an H4 conversion and an HID head light kit!

I had xenon headlights on the SEXYNESS and since I no longer have that car I soooo miss them!

So, the project this sunday is to install the H4 conversion and HID kit in the Trans Am! I'll take pic's

HID's FTW!!!

You got the projector housings for them, right?

ahh.. i miss my HID's in my last car too.

take lots of pics of the install!

They don't make projector housings for the 93-97 TA's. They have to be a retrofit design....and even that is very involved and difficult.

What color temp, conversion housings, and kit did you go with? Make sure the adapters for the plug ends are long enough.

Get some cutoff pics as well. I'm curious to see how they compare to my housings. Always looking to go better. You will love the HIDs

:shrug: I think so.

It has new head lights, ballasts, ignitors, wires, etc. All the needed parts are there.

Sooooo can't wait!

Yea, I meant projectors for the housings.....

I hope so, otherwise he'll be blinding everyone in site.

Color Temp (k) = 4300K

H4 1/2

The new housings are made by DLAA

:rofl: Screw everyone else..... at least I will be able to see :)

I got him the regular diamond cut reflector housing for now....just to see how they fit and in case we have to make modifications somehow....I'm gonna get him the projector housing at a later date once we install everything. the HID kit has a halogen high beam as well so it's decent. And i wanted maximum light output...not those blue 12000K which are dimmer significantly

are those 4x6?

yeah they are

o0o0o, take lots of pics! Any links for this stuff?

blinding everyone else with no projectors FTL..

very nice.

i have projector hids 8k for my iroc. love them. ill post some pics soon

yes pics !

Must be nice... Must be nice...

Not necessarily. Granted reflector housings do not perform as good as quality projectors, some have fairly decent optics. Ask me how I know.

Hella Free-form 165mm, H4 Hi/Low 6500K

Hey Brian, what did you do to convert the original wiring for the H4666 sealed beam to accept the H4 bulb? Is there an adapter we can buy? or is it just a matter of connecting 3 wires and soldering them?

I picked up an adapter from rallylights.com when I bought my new headlight housings. These guys are located in PA and it's easier to call them and order than go through their website. Shipping was quick too.

Only mild PIA was I had to extend the adapter harness wires because the one end of the connector would get in the way when the headlight housing was closing. Not hard to extend 3 wires per harness but it wasn't just that easy lol.

Using HID's without projectors is just dangerous. Case closed. Show me your "cut off" with a sealed housing against your garage door and I will retract my statement. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to run cars off the road with "aimed" hids in regular housings because I litterally could not see in front of me from the glare.

First pic is close to the wall. Aside from the hotspots its controlled fairly well.

Farther out shot. They still needed a little needed adjusting after this shot but the only glare you should get would be if your on the side of the road.

Tough to get a shot at night with the HIDs with the simple camera but there you go. Not as good as projectors but not half bad either.

who sells a fairly cheap kit for hids including lenses ballasts and bulbs for a 00 trans am? some one pm me

Here's what HID's should look like in proper housings:

No hotspots, sharp cutoff. Very different from HID bulbs in a halogen housing.

The HIDs in the SEXYNESS are AWESOME!!!!!
