Default Let there be LIGHT!!!!!!

Well I figured Id make a thread before I started getting Pm's about my

lighting setup. So here It gos. For starters I have Sylvania silverstar ultras

High and low beams, Quad headlight mod. Projector fog lights(tinted

yellow so they are better in the fog) 100 watt bulbs in the projectors. KC

daylighters with a ddm tuning H3 4500k 55watt HID conversion kit. Four

Harbor freight brand 9 inch HID spot lights(Mounted to the roof rack) I

beleive they are 6000K. They are wired so I have two switches, one for

the two outside lights, and one for the middle lights. The Kc's are wired

with one switch.












In my reverse lights I also have 4300k hid bulbs mounted

in my stock housings, wired to an aux switch. vid of HID reverse lights on

my cardomain paige in my sig.

How all my lights accept my projector fogs are wired

i'm dying to see how the alt is gonna keep up on the first night run through the bush.

question. whith all of the upgrades you've done in lighting, why no HID's for your actual HL's?

As for the alternator, the volts dont drop below the notch between 9 and 14 even at idle with all lights on and blower moter on high. Highway speeds with all lights on its at a hair under 14.

I dont want to get HID's in my headlights because I hate it when im blinded by HID's in housings not designed for them. But When I use my Kc's/roof lights I want as much light as possible and I dont use them In the city(unless sombody cuts me off!!) so blinding isnt an issue.

@blazin jason yes they are self-contained

@mttopper Thanks!!

@mlrs327 Thanks I love the lights!!!!
