Gen5 T4R owners: Please post pix of your HID conversion...

[MeetJoeAsian]

I'd like to see some pix of different HID setups available. Please list the conversion you have and the type and wattage of the bulb, and color temperature. Please post pictures of view from inside the driver's seat and from oncoming's traffic POV...

thank you very much...

.....can you also do a time-lapse video of it showing the changes that occur from sunrise to sunset. Those are always cool!

This is the only one that's been reported on a 5G that I know of. It's a Xenon Depot HID retrofit into OEM reflector headlights. Not projectors. Despite what the naysayers say, this kit improved my lighting significantly, and I'm not the least sorry I bought it. It will be for sale shortly for obvious reasons. "Hello, my name is Phil, and I'm a light freak".

Heres mine, I have Xenondepot xtreme 6k lows and 3k fogs, but I plan on retrofitting my headlamps so the 6ks will be for sale soon. The light output has increased significantly.

Nice pic Adio. I didn't know you had done a XD too.

 

[azn-sensation]

The 3000k Fogs look good.

 

[XenonDepot]

I'm a fan of 3000k HIDs

so, quick question... I'm swapping my headlights to 6000K soon and im thinking im going to do the same with the fogs soon after. my question is, where have you guys mounted the ballast for the fog light HIDs? i found a spot under the hood that should work for the headlights, but i wasnt sure of a safe place for the fogs. pics would be great too. thanks!

I mounted mine right behind the headlamps, theirs a nice flat spot. Than ran the wiring down and ziptied it.

 

[JayBe]

ok that sounds good. they're being ordered either tonight or tomorrow so i'd say about a week and a half to two weeks before they're installed. don't worry, pics will follow haha. i know someone will ask.

and adio, your truck looks great bro. definitely one of my favorites on here. great job with it

 

[JayBe]

and one other question, did anyone have to reverse the wires in the plug? i heard that in some cars you had to for this to work. i remember seeing someones thread on installing HIDs and i thought they had to, dont remember who it was tho.

I ziptied the ballasts to the aluminum bumper support because the wiring wasn't long enough to mount them elsewhere. I didn't go with a Xenon Depot conversion kit which is probably why I had to go this route. I went to a local shop that gave me full lifetime warranty on the entire kit. You can see the zipties in the pic below.
