Title: Projector headlight retrofit
Post by: FC on January 26, 2014, 10:03:21 PM: Has anyone here done one? I am looking at using these with an h7 5000k hid kit. I have a 5000k hid retrofit on stock type (reflector) lights now but am looking to upgrade without blinding the crap out of oncoming traffic.

They could but Hella makes some stand alone driving light variants (no hi/lo) for less dough, I did see a setup where a guy had used them as his headlights with hid bulbs and had hooked up a second pair with halogen bulbs as high beams. It was pretty slick and gave his truck a very custom look but I really don't care about that, I just want to be able to see when driving at night! The Rigid D2's I put on made a HUGE difference but I still need some good long distance lighting.
