I have just fitted the Xenon HID lights that Jez brought back from Russia – thanks Jez.
I decided to fit them in the grille area, rather than on the bumper, to get a higher position for the beam…
I have each of them angled out to give a good wide spread of beam. As you can see in the pic above, the lenses on these already have a ‘fog’ pattern to spread the beam of the HID bulb…
Hopefully they are recessed enough to stop an errant tree pushing them into my intercooler …
Wired into a Carling switch, bought from X-Eng, that I put into vacant slot in switch panel..
Just need to get some more robust brackets made up for the lamps now I have position right.
Didn’t take any pics of them working at night as they don’t usually come out that well to show true difference. Take it from me, these are bright lights. A pair are more than enough for me and do the job of illuminating ahead off road really well. Very pleased so far.
Now I have the lights in the right place, I just need to trim the grille a bit more to tidy it up.
A couple of more pics…
