P51's HID Headlight (Projector) and Fog Conversion (PICS)

[WhiteLimited]

Wow

I'm going to look into doing this...

It was worth every penny.

 

[slickemhoundd]

how much did everything run you?

 

[MustangP51]

Headlight Housings: $148.99 eBay
Projectors: $177.39 eBay
D2S HID Kit: $109.99 shopxenon.com
H1 HID Kit: $109.99 shopxenon.com
High Beam Controllers: $18.00 random guy (see post 4)
Projector Shrouds: $99.00 eBay
Fuse Block: $12.99 Advance Auto
Wiring/Diodes/Relays ~$30.00

Total: $705.36

Never really wanted to add those numbers up before, but I still think having the HIDs are well worth it.

Have any of you HID guys had to deal with the DRL(Daytime Running Lights). My HID's are great, but since in canada, we have daytime running lights. my HID flicker when not on. so I have to manually turn them on during the day.
I know the DRL's are just the high beams running at a lower voltage, but I don't have the manual, and I can't find the fuse to dissable them. Also. my HID's only only have a standard bulb for high beams. What brand are you running to have HID high and low?...K, and last question. I've heard of melting the for housing with an HID kit. any feedback on that?

Thanx Guys

I think there is a thread on here somewhere that has a how to on disabling the DRLs.

As far as your question about the high and low beams.
With my setup the high and low beams are controlled by a shutter in the projectors. The HID bulb is a single D2S bulb that runs unaffected by the beam.

The HIDs actually run cooler then standard halogen bulbs so melting the housings is not a concern.

As upon requests here are some daytime pics and closeups with the shrouds installed.

what values did you use for the diodes? i know it says 3 amps, but what about the voltage, i heard the higher the better.

and are the relays 30 amp 12v and 5 pin? like the regular automotive relays you can find on ebay and other part stores.

Also what gauge wire did you use to solder your own leads onto the board? Looks like 18-22 ga.

Here is a link to the diodes that I bought.

The relays are 30amp 12v and have 4 pins, power in, power out, ground, and switch.

Here is the wire

Were the bezles (shrouds) custom made before you ordered them? Or did you cut them to fit?

 

[jayRock]

i like the results so far, im ordering the projectors soon (e46's with shrouds for $150) I might make a second pair if someone wants one.. im not looking to sell them for an outrageous price either.

I had to cut the shrouds to fit.
