Rallylights Hella Headlight Kit in a JK

[Hilldweller]

I installed my Rallylights Hella 7" round kit in my Jeep yesterday. It consists of a stout harness, a pair of relays, two Hella reflectors, and a pair of Hella bulbs. I won't detail the install; the kit is easy enough that instructions are not needed (they are included though and are quite thorough).
These photos have a set of Osram 70/65 bulbs though...
I also got around to shooting pics of the light from my HID's after tinting the lenses selective yellow.

In the "before" pics, my Jeep is pretty far to the right of the lane; there was a TJ next to me with Trucklite LED headlights.
In the "after" shots, I'm quite a bit farther back than I had been in the befores ---- but the decoy stuffed dogs are at the same spot.

I'm extremely pleased with them.

It's a very good kit and only exceeded by a Cibie housing that you could source from Daniel Stern; I'd still get the harness and uber-bulbs from Rallylights.com.
A fellow on CPF tells me that Hella has an upgraded housing now as well. This one is very good and a huge improvement but there are some random artifacts from it.

Bill- that looks like a great setup.

Rallylights is a great vendor. I have nothing but positive remarks about them as well.

Be careful driving around with that setup. PETA may petition you for blinding innocent wildlife and then leaving them to fend for themselves...

Well, I know of one happy jackrabbit this morning that's happy I installed those lights; saw him and adjusted my course in time.

No comparison pictures with the Trucklite LED's?

Those Osrams are normal headlights or are they in an off road light housing? Link to where you got them?

The Rallylights kit link is in my first post.
The Osrams are 70/65 (motorcycle bulb) and won't live a long time; that's the price you pay for intensity. The housing is a normal 7" Hella round for generic applications.
Rallylights.com has an extensive bulb listing HERE. And Candlepower has a vast selection HERE.
Rallylights can make a plugnplay harness for anything you want.

I did a write-up on that previously; here's the quick review.
Truck-Lite's 7" headlights are great... ...for show trucks that aren't driven at night. They're worthless in the real world.

Bill,

I have the same lights and I'm very pleased with them. IMHO, it was one of the best mods dollar for dollar that I've done.

Are those Hellas e-code or DOT?

Are JK headlights interchangeable with old 7" round sealed beams? IE, can you put them in a TJ or a Miata?
