Exclamation Hella HID Installed ( Pics Inside )

Hey guys just wanted to let you know i installed the Hella HID 7500k lights. They are in fog light and VERY blue, i'll post pics soon but here is an idea, they make stock HID look like regular lights! Time to upgrade to Phillips 6000k bulb for stock HID probobly... anyways its probobly the first one to do HID on stock and it works fine and no problems

Looks really good but like i said i need bluer bulbs for stocks and new HID bulbs for stock HID! The cutoff on the HID is good but since it is in fog light it is a bit too low.

Now you are probobly thinking why the hell put fog light HID its because the FOG light makes more light out the side and i find its important for visability in turns as well as it looks amazing lets not forget you go sideways when you are drifting...

Pics soon

I'll write a DIY on how to wire an HID system in yourself if anyone cares... if not then u'll just have to figure it out yourself!

although its very straight forward...

also special thanks to Veilside GS3 for selling me the lights, packaged REALLY well! And also for sure manaray on the SC install (now you know why i asked so many questoins ) and my buddies for helping out with the install!

Edit - i think i'll make a DIY for you guys

Wow, that is truly amazing. Really looks nice!

I definately see this thread getting very popular very quick.

LexusRules get ready for lots of question on "how did you do that" starting with me.

Let me know when you finish the DIY write up on this awesome mod.

Great Job!!

Sasha, that ***** looks sweeeeet. Now Sasha, please take some better pics....@ in the dark those daylight pics are very hard to see.

I thought about doing this when I got my 7000k installed but was affraid of blinding the people who drove along the side of me @ night because of how the fog light shoots the light out to the side.

Anyhow, visually, it looks good. You have to tell us if it makes a better difference at night. I know my 7000k did!

Nice job. Aside from the lights, the ballast mount looks very professional. Did the mount piece come with the system or did you "manufacture" it yourself?
