  • Mary mother of Jesus - 55W HIDs fitted

    Just fitted a set of modified Lightforce XGT HID spotties and I am not sure I can find the right combination of expletives to describe how bright they are!!

    They are almost impossible to look at from anywhere near the front of the vehicle and they light up the buildings like daylight a Klm away!

    I realise why these things are not legal for on road use! You would seriously injure someones eyes at night if you high beamed them from behind.

    I cannot wait to use these bad boys at Fraser!

    Some pictures attached albeit a bit difficult to see how bright they are from a photo.


    Hard to take such a photo

    What one beam pointing through the garage does to an already very well lit kitchen!

    Now, I've seen a few spot light tests before using various methods to demonstrate the intensity and spread of the beam... but I have never seen one using a kitchen as a backdrop! :shock:

      They came with a free set of steak knifes so I thought it was appropriate.

        I believe Lightforce now do their own conversion kit for the HID upgrades, Its about $200 per light, so not as cheap as some others on the market, but I think i wanna upgrade mine at some stage .

              Can anyone recommend a good place to buy the Lightforce conversion kits from?

              I found the Lightforce kits selling at 4WDshop.com.au
              http://www.4wdshop.com.au/equip/lightforce.htm

              Has anyone ever bought anything from these guys before? Seems about $200 a light by the look of it.

              Bushy has also got a bit of a website up and running by the look of it, but just has the adapters required. You need to get a kit from fleabay and then use his adapters.
              http://www.angelfire.com/on4/bushy5551/index.html

              Seems like a good project for a cold wet winters day. Any kit that has something called an "ignitor" in it gets me interested! 8)

                  Just got back from an overnight trip with a few mates. One mate has just had some HID LightForce 240's put on his 100 Series, makes the standard LightForce 240's (which I have) look like crap :shock:

                  It's a definite upgrade for me when I can get the time and $'s.

                  Cheers,

                    Do a search as Mav has done this conversion and there is a lot of information about the process and some photo's of the finished product.

                      Re: Mary mother of Jesus - 55W HIDs fitted

                      What is (if any) the time delay for the HID's reaching full brightness?

                      Some of the kits I've seen take upward of 15 seconds first time on, as I'm looking to upgrade a set of Lightforce XGT's for my brother.

                      Thanks

                        When they first start up they do this wierd flash thing then dim and they would take 15 seconds to come to full brightness.

                        That being said they are brighter than the standard spotlights in a matter of seconds...

                        Second time in they are much quicker but they certainly do take some time to reach full spec.

                          Do you find any issues with a decrease in range? I just did my Headlights with a bi-xenon kit and now am looking at my XGT's. I love the range of the spot and don't want to lose too much of my distance.

                            The range extension is far superior to the standard Blitz 240 range. I have had my conversion on for sometime now and I would never ever go back to standard spotties. The next best thing to do is get the 240 spread/spot filter which works wonders and really makes these bad boys a very effective spotlight. I use one with a spread/spot filter and one as a pencil beam.

                            Bushy did sell a complete kit for conversions and he would throw in the adapters with the kit, I think mine were in the vicinity of $190.00 delivered. Bushy certainly was tops when it came to warranty repair and I did stuff him around trying to figure out which part was broken but he never grumbled at all and was extremely helpful.

                            Cheers

                              Well I bit the bullet and ordered a set of the Lightforce 35 watt HID conversion kits for my 240 Blitz lights. Yep, $200 per light. Ouch! Interestingly, the guys at the local joint I ordered them from said there'd been such a run on the kits that Lightforce were advising all suppliers there was now a 2 week wait for them, minimum. Anyone else heard this? That was two weeks ago and still no dice! Seems that Lightforce don't do the 55watt globes but I think the 35 watters will do me ok. When and if they come... :? I'll post up some pics of the kits and the install. That'll be along with the ARB onboard air (great kit!) and Violet's recovery points........
