Quad Halogen to HIDs

[John Jensen]

My Ram quad headlights conversion to four HID Bi-Xenon 55w projectors is now complete.
The quads allow for TWO Bi-Xenon projectors per headlight (after a bit of modification to the reflectors).
Most vehicles, only allow one projector per headlight... or come that way from the factory.

So, now I run a total of four 55w projector low beams (at the same time!) and they have an excellent cutoff to not blind oncoming drivers.
When I flip on the high-beams, I have four 55W HID high beams blasting a long way down the road. Very, very bright!

We first tested only one 55w projector in each side, then the two in each side.
Surprised us that two in each side was so much brighter (twice as bright?).

Wiring to get them to operate as described and not throw a "light out" message was tricky and time-consuming.

We were told that this (two projectors per light) has never been done before and it would not work properly. So much for the "expert" opinions.

wow, that's awesome! what projectors and ballasts are you running?

I would love to have some usable light from my headlights...I often switch them off and on thinking they aren't working. Turns out, they just suck.

No name 55w ballasts and upgraded projectors from www.ddmtuning.com/.

My son who did the retrofit, etc has purchased a lot of off-road LED and HID lighting equipment from DDm and had no problems.

We did buy a Morimoto harness from RetroFit that they recommended. Harness quality is outstanding but Retrofit's recommendation was bad. Removed most of the components including their resistors to make things work right
