    thanks! One of my friends does retrofits for a living, he did these for me. I didnt take any pictures but the hardest part is making sure the projector rotation is correct, otherwise your low beam cutoff could be on a weird angle. otherwise you just bake the housings to get the lenses off, and then cut the back of the headlight from the center, slowly opening it up until the projector fits how you want. From there you can either bolt them in or epoxy them into place.

    Alex wins. Again.

    That light output looks better than the OEM HIDs on my Audi.

    That is some serious light output.

    haha thanks guys! Simple retrofit honestly, at least compared to some of the ones out there on newer fancier stuff. Wouldn't be hard to replicate this setup, if anyone wants info just let me know!

    Has anyone got thoughts on using these as donor housings for a conversion?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pc-7X6-Diam...1YXdMB&vxp=mtr

    I like them because they're glass lenses, with black housings, and they don't have a bunch of extra LED halo BS. I'd hollow them out to install some OEM HIDs I got off a Nissan Altima. It's not really a big risk at $24.

    Same as most of the universal diamond cut h4 housings. Probably similar or same as the ones on my truck that I posted on page one. Most are pretty good quality.

    I am still eyeballing a full set of H4's for my Gen 1. So far these seem to be the ones that are going to take my money - https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOUR-4x6-Ha...item3d4edc8001

    The H4's with the black reflectors look kinda cool but I'm not 100% sold on whether or not they would be as effective - https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOUR-4x6-Ha...RZFPJ2&vxp=mtr

    I'll need to modify the wiring loom to adapt the full set of low/high beams - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Headlight-H...BZ8TeM&vxp=mtr

    I know that this particular kit is for one pair of headlights, so the plan is to buy 2 of these kits and add an accessory switch to run the headlights in parallel (I think driving with 4 low beams would make me popular...) I need the relay kits anyway as a PO butchered the headlight wiring loom

    I have heard the blacked out housings greatly hamper the light output, get the regular chrome backed ones.

    Not finding any reviews on the black backed housings but I thought this was probably the case. Thanks Dropped

    Might have even been a member or two on here that said that, but I have for sure read that they are crap.

    The black "reflectors" will absorb light, not reflect it. So unless the headlights are projectors that don't use the rest of the housing for lighting, they are useless.

    Check for Phillips Color Clear headlights,hard to find now but look awesome.Have had them on Ram since it was almost new. They look almost black but light not reduced dramatically. Shoot me your email and I can take a couple pics. Merry Christmas to all!

    If high output lighting is what you want, get real headlights - Hella or Cibie Z beams, and load them up with high wattage bulbs. I have a set of the Z beams that I had in my 1985 Ram 50 - with 4 100 W bulbs I could light road signs up brighter than daylight from 2 miles away! You must run ceramic headlight sockets or the heat will melt the plastic ones.

    So this is now on my Christmas wish list - https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOUR-4x6-Ha...5.c10#viTabs_0

    plus 2 sets of these - https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-COB-Hi-...item33dd88af06

    and add this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUto-H4-Hea...MAAOSwETJaGQrq

    I want to integrate the headlight relays into a single fuse and relay block as the plan is to add a bunch of accessories (2x headlight relays, relays for thermofans and relays for fuel pumps) The stock wiring loom in the Gen 1 is rudimentary at best but my factory loom has been cut up badly. Hopefully this will beef up the electrics side of the truck along with an uprated alternator (maybe one from a Hyundai - plenty around and they run a stack of ancillaries without struggling)

    Christmas is coming - ordered my H4's and wiring harness upgrade (it'll be late but better than never). Got the black housing 4x6's with chrome rear reflectors and T10 parking inserts (I wasn't 100% sure if the listed item would have them but these ones definitely have them - yay!). I'll post up a pic of them installed. More than likely I'll have to swap the globes (bulbs) as the reviews on them aren't super awesome but no biggie

    Seen youtube reviews on them - and they are stupid bright. I mean, they could microwave popcorn at 10 metres They aren't approved so they could be a liability if you want to avoid being pulled over by the po-po's.

    LED headlamps are now not compliant over here. Big crackdowns. Can't wait till all these ford rangers get inspected and lose their light bars.
