HID install

[daveismissing]

I didn't like any of the harnesses I bought, decided to rework one.

Bench tested today, I'l put it on when/if it warms back up.

I really don't like caspers lack of index post on the D2S/H4 shield, I'm adding something
there too. Problem is the D2S electrical connector is really tight and will spin the bulb.
The Autogoody are much better in that respect.

This should provide the high/low  in parallel solution.

Wow!  This wiring diagram is GREAT .....thanks Dave
 
Will come in real handy for anyone wishing to do this change over.
 
As you know, I'll be doing this conversion too (over the winter) and this will be put to good use!
Can't wait to finally have some half decent lighting.
 
May need a consult in the process, here & there though.
 
What are your going rates these days?
 
Thanks again,

Update:  an inch and quarter hole saw is the thing- a nice tight fit to the D2S.

And yes, I used one of these just didn't have a picture at the time

I can see a big market for this setup for nite racing at Shannonville.

Alradco is offering a kit. No idea if it's any good...

$275.00 for both upper and low beam..

This is a D2S install. Hoping to keep this thread focused on the install.
Let's argue merits in the other long thread?

The camera de-emphasizes the colour difference (4500K)
HI and Low beams- diode doing it's thing:

[Top Speed]

That looks bright!

[daveismissing]

Had a question asked- HTH


The harness connects to the low beam wire and the ground wire or ground.
The diode goes between the high beam connection and the low beam wire.
The only current thru the diode is the relay current.
The diode prevents the low beams from trying to light the high beams (reverse biased) .

So who sells the connector equiv of the head light to clean up the wire connection and a boot too?

Here's one link I found......not sure about 16gauge wire though?  May be best to look for one with 14gauge wiring?  Dunno

This second one looks to be using heavier gauge wiring.  Just cut off the male connector and you're good to go!
Suggest giving them a call tat Susquehanna Motorsports to verify gauge of wire used.

looks good! how much did the whole thing cost? do you have a parts list?
