Thread: HID High Beam Upgrade

No needed for my fit the globes just clip in the same as the original Halogens.

I have the LR OME spotlights fitted to my D3, crap spotlight. Would love to retro fit HID into them. Any thoughts on this?

So my adventure continues. My lights have developed a feature where one will occasionally not work. And then had my first total black out one evening picking the car up from service. I guess my source must not be of good quality. Had my battery checked and that is fine - thought maybe low voltage was the issue. They will flicker before they stop. Eventually I can get one or more to fire and I'm away....

Had that problem on my P38, fixed it by the installing earth leads direct to the outside of each ballast

Haven't seen the spotties you have, but generally if you have crap spotlights, fitting HID is not going to make them much better. I've fitted HID to Hella Rally 4000's and this worked well, but the Hella is a well built light (ie. has good lens and reflector) to start with.

Rather than putting HID globes into your crap lights, I'd be looking at replacing them with decent lights - have a look at Fyrlyts if you have enough room to fit them.
