So Cal Suspension Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 You will need to do a DC conversion, and run a battery. HID's draw a ton of current to get started, but once "ignited" they will only pull 35w each. The same as your stock bulbs. This is where the battery comes into play, to give them the extra "jolt" it takes. WAY brighter than stock, and the bulbs don't get anywhere near as hot. Great addition in my opinion.

So Cal Suspension Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i got some tusk ultra brite from alf cheap and they work awsome I have the PIAA bulbs. Side by side with the Tusk, the PIAA's are brighter, but probably not worth spending 35 bucks a piece on them, so those Tusk's are a viable option.

benb5241 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yeah I would rather not have to mess with a battery and such. Are the tusk lights considerably brighter than stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 You can do LED or HID, both require a DC Conversion. A battery is only mandatory with the HID setup. Here is the LED light I did on mine with the dc conversion and a battery. I powdercoated the bracket black shortly after this photo was taken. This is when I was building the bracket.

Whitbread Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) I'm running 2 of the single 10W LED lights from Vision X I got through Snop and they're stupid bright. Just a dc conversion is all that is needed with them. Best $200 I've spent in a long while. All my friends say they can see their shadow in their headlights if I'm behind them. I'll eventually put 2 more on the bars. That should be retarded bright. Edited July 1, 2010 by Whitbread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionroller Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 why do you have to do a dc conversion? how much does that cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The LED lights are DC,and HID lights require a battery which is also DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
