i bought these after having the truck for ten days. pic 1 is of the stock head lamps with stock gray grill. i painted the grill black and installed the halos. it made the truck have that interceptor look that i was going for. the install took 1 hour tops and the majority of that was the taking off of the plastic covers. the stock ones are two pieces and came out in 15 minutes. two clips that you pull out and i think two screws hold the side marker in. you just cut your turn signal wires and hook those into the ones that are hard wired into the head lamp. i hope this maybe gives someone an idea for there ranger.

type me if you got any questions on how to do it on yours, i would say a 4 out of 10 on diffficulty

 

purdy

 

when it gets dark can you get some shots of the light output against a wall or something?

engine bay

 

8000k is like hyper white not blue

 

4300k = sunlight
6000k = white/blue
8000k = blue/purple

 

i thought the max was 12,000K wich was like purple 8000K is supposedly the best for driving but if had a choice i would go with 10,000K

 

No you can get up to 30k. 8k is not the best for driving, try more like 5k.

 

looks great

 

i think it would come down to personal preferance for being the best to drive with. howeve i would pin it on 5500(havent seen) to 6k. my 8s are nice when im on the highway all by my self and i have on my high's and my piaa's...i can see for ever! but i would hope so lol! not saying 8k is bad its just that extra bit of blue i didnt want.

 

I've heard the projection from these particular light is terrible. I would be interested in these but if I use projectors I want an OEM style projection.

 

Actually - the light output on my 6000k 35w bulbs w/ 50w ballasts pushes it to right at around 5500k temps, and is a rather nice color. I want to try hooking up some 4300k's to my current projector setup but I havent had the time/money to dig aroudn in the bulb business and track down which ones fit - I can say that driving around in the country at night - 8000k is horrible, you need a 4300-6000k to distinguish brown from green, hence - a deer in the bushes. It isnt so bad for city driving, but I tried a buddies 8000k and it was pretty much unusable at night where I live, it didnt throw near far enough for safe driving @ 45mph+

 

these are the same one is was looking at getting but i had a few questions that never got answered.
like do any hids fit in these lights cause I've heard of people having problems fitting the longer bulbs into these, and second I've heard of one person of having fitting issues such as there is a gap under the light to the bumper and the light overhangs on the sides. what are your opinions on these problems and like everyone else I'd like to see a light output shot.

 

light output x4 plz

 

Light output shots with these simply dont exist lol

There are like 4 or 5 guys on here with them, and they all have tha fancy front end photos - but not a single light output/cutoff shot :-D

 

bump for light output my bday is on sunday so i must see if its worth getting

 

bam! cheap crappy as all hell, as expected. But still better than HID in a halogen reflector. Not by much.

 

eek that looks awful lol. but other then that, the housing itself looks nice. i need to do find a nice shroud to dress up my projectors.

 

GAH thats terrible. I'm buying a retro kit :-)

 

I think I need to flavor this with my own setup of projector lens..


Lows:






Highs:







BOOM! Eat it! Cant brag tooo much persay - but its simply the best cutoff I've ever seen on projectors

 

^^ sexy!

guess i'll chime in with mine lol


i need to take some better output shots

 

yes you do.

 

here's one from when i first got em lol

 

that is beautiful
