Work without a problem,no relays..not needed on a 35watt kit.just had to remove the headlight timer for the 30 second delay

 

thats the set im looking at...you really like them then?

 

They are awesome lights. i also did the heavy duty wire harness upgrade

 

here is a pic taken just a few minutes ago at 4:30 central time. now real dark but can see how bright the low beams are

 

I really like the AGT kit from these guys,

http://www.carhidkits.com/6000k-hid-kit-183.html

it however does not include the open light housing that you will need very bright no complaints from anyone or on coming drivers flashing me

 

you pretty much have me sold lol, I want something easy and really good quality...does the kit come with new housings or do you use the existing ones?

 

Kits come complete with two Rectangular housings and Xenon bulbs rated at 60/55 watts.

 

Just don't forget that what sets headlights apart how well the light is dispersed (how much of the light is being put in the usable area), and how sharp the low-beam cutoff is, which enables you to run your lights at the correct height without risking blinding other drivers. This is especially true for those of us who run higher than stock wattage bulbs.

Not to be demanding, but take a few pictures with your low and high beams on with your vehicle aimed at a flat surface (preferably non-reflective like a wall, not another car) at a distance of between 25 to 40 feet and post those up. Here's an example of my own. Let me assure you, the pictures don't do the lights justice as I had to cheat to get the camera to not just be flooded with light.

High Beam:


And lastly one that I took that before I worked out the exposure (the light floods out the pic) but you can see how sharp the cutoff really is:


Happy Headlight Shopping!

BTW, these are IPF H4 Housings w/Fatboy II bulbs and an upgraded harness.

 

Nice..well my brights are burned out and my regulars are pretty dull...is there a link to what you purchased?

 

I purchased the housings and bulbs from Dirk at DPG Offroad, give him a call as he usually has the best possible prices on ARB/IPF items.

Instead of purchasing a commercial product, I DIY'd the upgraded harness/headlight loom ala GoJeep: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoHeadlightLoom.htm
- most of the connectors can be had from Advance Auto Parts, but Pep Boys had them too, just at a higher price. I also purchased the two relays required there.
- I puchased the wiring at Lowes which I think saved me about $5 overall.

 

thanks for the info, and the links.
But 78x2 plus the wiring is definitely more than I want to spend..the kit off quadratech is 120, and its plug and play..I have heard nothing bad about it

 

Not a problem, hope they work well for you. I do agree that not everyone needs to run this kind of setup, but it is great if you run back trails or country roads at night. You honestly can't even compare the light output and beam throw of these to anything of stock wattage. To be honest, these things are easily brighter than the set of Bixenon HID/Autopal lenses setup I had before (would have been much better if I had projectors) and don't have that finicky warm up time. I'm not saying I wouldn't go back to HID, but I'd do it the right way, not cheap ebay junk.

I suppose while on the topic of HID, TheRetrofitSource.com is one of the best places for information and myth dispelation on this topic. If you REALLY wanted to be a DIY master, you could have some homeade housings for just over $350ish, which is not too shabby for the ridiculous about of light they throw.

 

The eBay ones don't look bad but I'd want high beams.
