Hella 500FF installed

just picked up a set of Hella 500FF from my local auto store. gonna install behind grill tomorrow.
anyone have any pointers or suggestions?

plus i will be putting HID's from DDM Tuning to match my headlghts. when they get here.

i would like to have them just on a switch so i control when they are on.

driving, they are 7inch, only have 55w H3 bulbs with them but i ordered a set of hids today too, but i can't wait that long i'll just install them now maybe with a 100watt bulb.

i guess if i was to install the hid's at a layter date would i have to reinstall everything? wiring and such

 

[4x4Hemi]

Yep new wiring and all that. You have to cut up the hid kit and all that so it works. Again its not that hard haha I did Mine a little while ago

So if their 7 inch ones they would be the 700ffs?? 500ffs are 6 inches

so how to i wire them to just run off the switch. not tap into my HiBeams
cause there is a blue and green wire ?

 

[4x4Hemi]

just dont use the blue wire lol

 

[mxblaster83]

just dont use the blue wire lol

ok then,lol i have been reading thors set up, his is KC's but should be the same idea hey? best to mount them on the bottom crossmember? should i put a inline fuse on the power wire form the battery?

 

[4x4Hemi]

it has a fuse on it already. well it should lol.

it should be the same all it is is putting in a relay, bottom cross member works, just need to find a longer bolt as the ones now with the hellas arent long enough

 

[mxblaster83]

well the more i read the more i wonder if i should even convert them to HID's
because the on/off/on/off constanly won't that wreck the hid's?

and if i do convert do i still use the relay from the hella kit?

im kinda thinking i might just take out my HID's in my headlights and put back some halogens and then i can use the hellas all the time!

 

[4x4Hemi]

I wish my computer was working so I could show you the difference
Trust me you want to convert them.. you will be very disappointed with the halogens in em now haha once I can get on ill show you a comparison picture. And yes you use the same relay

The hids from your headlights won't fit you need h3 bulbs

 

[UNBROKEN]

I had a set...swapped them for PIAA 520 driving lights and wish I had never bought the Hellas.

 

[mxblaster83]

so what about the constant on and off with the hellas w/ HID's in them?

i odrered H3 slim ballest from DDM i know that my headlight ones won't fit in the hellas

i was just thinking having halogens in my headlights and hellas maybe 100w in the hellas

 

[4x4Hemi]

Hey if it works for you man. If you constantly switch on and off youll probably get annoyed by the hid warm up time

 

[4x4Hemi]

regular hellas


HIDS


haha big difference

 

[mxblaster83]

regular hellas


HIDS


haha big difference

yes yes i know. lol ima gonna do it. my plan is to adjust my lows a lil higher and then have the hellas as a fill in front and to the sides.

all i ordered was the H3 slim ballest from ddm tuning..i dont need anything eles?

and do you have a video or step by steps to convert to hid??

 

[4x4Hemi]

I dont have a video or anything like that but theres a thread around here some where on how to do it. Its not to hard. If you find the thread and have any questions feel free to ask ill try and help!

k thanks man, im hoping it does'nt take long for the hid's to get shipped to canada.

 

[4x4Hemi]

Took me 10 days on mine haha

 

[mxblaster83]

Well i ****** that up!!!

i drilled the holes as thor did, then i put the bolt in then try'd to put the lights on
aand they are pointing way upwards, there is no way i can point them down to be at least center, it looks like the trans cooler is in the way.

any other way to mount these suckas?????
