HID Auxiliary Light Install

[ckkone]

So I picked up a set of those $100 HIDs from Checkers and finally got around to putting them on. It was a pain to come up with a way to fit these on my ARB along with the Lightforce 240s. The best thing I could come up with was to use a piece of square tubing (Grey), drill new holes in the existing mounting tabs (red), then drill new mounting holes in the square tube for the lights (blue). Now that I know everything fits I have to take it all back off to paint the square tube, but for now some pics:

$100 HIDs? how bright are they compared to the 240s?

I found the $100 HIDs from this thread http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10341

It's hard to say if they are brighter than the 240s, the 240s are spots and the HIDs are more of a flood. I'm going to pull the rig out in a few days and aim them, I'll post up some pics of the beam patterns.

They look to be bloking an awful lot of the cooling area. Your not concerned of overheating?

I'll keep an eye on that, but I'm not really concerned.
