6K High/Low HID's installed!

[Larry Phillips]

With inspiration from Jeff C, and help from Dingo, I finally replaced my 8K (blue) HID headlights with 6K (less blue) high beam/low beam headlights. I decided to replace the 8Ks when I lost one of the ballasts. I wanted high beams back. These are telescopic/retractable bulbs, where the bulb pulls out of the headlight lens a quarter inch in low beam, and extends fully into the headlight housing in high beam. The only snag to the project was that the electronic harness supplied was for a 9004 bulb, so the lights worked backwards. Once re-wired, the lights now work properly. The 6K kit provides much more usable light than the 8K.

I linked a quicktime video showing the operation. And I got them from www.hidlook.com

Yup, I love the hi/low. Now I just need to order the ones for the fogs :lol:

I have a set of the HID 6k in my headlights and a set of the HID 5k in my fogs, This combo is very BRIGHT.... I get high beamed with the fogs on but not with the headlights on... They take some getting used to. I have the body lift in mine so it makes them higher.... I am wondering if you removed the reflective cover that goes infront of the bulb in the housing, just wondering if they work better with out it.... Thanks Brian H.

I also upgraded with this set after seeing Jeff C's setup. So far so good! Was a little worried after seeing the ebay reps for the seller. Shipping was fast and everything was correct. Just had to be creative in mounting the ballasts.

Seeing this, makes me want to do the upgrade in my head lights and fogs, in my ST as well as my Ranger.
