Another HID install

[L1TECH]

Ordered a set of the Night Vision 6000K from Retro Solutions. They showed up in 2 days and I put them in on Sunday. Install is very easy however if you aren't automotive savy hooking up the relay harness may be a bit confusing. Nothing fancy here, Ford gives you perfect places already equipped with bolts to mount the ballasts adn hide the wiring. This isn't the first set of hids that I have installed but it is the first time that I have put hids in non projector housings. The pattern is "ok" but is nowhere near what a projector will give you....naturally, but it is workable. The housing design focuses the light well enough that there shouldn't ever be any issues with blinding oncoming drivers unless you get stupid and throw something over 6000k in, I'm actually thinking about adjusting my lights up just a tad. Now the overall light output and increased visibility is naturally a dramatic increase and if you have never driven with hids then you will be shocked if you install these. ANd lets not forget to mention that they make the front end look 1000% better when the lights are on...no more dingy yellow halogen.

any issues with "no fire" or "bulb flutter" conditions? I have a set from Retro and I have NEVER been able to get them to work properly. I am also using the capacitor and harness recommended by Retro.

 

Thanks,
