finally got my 55w DDM HID's into 6" off road lights. came out really well super bright but it seems the warm up time takes a good 7-10 seconds before there completely bright.

 

do you have any pics of how much they light up? like into a field or something? those are pretty sick

 

wow, it would be like switching on the sun haha

 

Definitely need to see these out in a field or something

 

Yes I need to see pictures of the out put on these things...

 

That "warmup time" is normal IMO.

 

Where do you mount all of these ballasts?

 

How is the output compared to halogen bulbs? I planed on ordering some here soon.

 

Well i have hids in my Headlights and if you ask me they are A LOT better than halogen bulbs. Really not even any comparison.

 

there slim ballasts, mounted behind the front bumper. i tries to splice wire on the output of the ballast but i think the voltage drop was to much. apparently the ballasts have to be really close to the bulb

 

yeah i never had these lights with the original bulbs hooked up so i cant compare. i have notice the HID bulbs broadcast a lot better than my old 100w H3 bulbs and significantly brighter, but that was in a whole different housing.

 

Yeah I have HIDs in my headlights, I was just wondering about the focus of the light I guess. Since it is going in a reflector housing I don't expect it to be great, but I was hoping it didn't scatter too bad. Also, are those 6000k?

 

I can see reflectors at a quarter mile on the road. And a hundred feet to each side with the housing it's in. The only problem is the street signs are blinding. Lol

 

any pictures of these in use?

 

Off topic I know... but how bad is the scatter with your headlight housings, assuming you have the truck in your avatar. I've been thinking about HID but with silverstars in there now I have a awesome super amazing pattern that I really dont want to loose.

To the OP, I want your grill. And I always wanted HID's in my 6" rounds. Thats wicked.

 

need out put pics!!!!! good job man!

 

Looks good man. Make me want to get on doing my hellas

 

Looks great, can't wait to see the night pics!

yeah i need to paint the grill its not as clean as it once was. lol and the lights are $10 at harbor freight.
