P500 HID lights install/how to

[ehart814]

What is the light patern like? I tried different lights and could not get a good light projection.... I either had a major black spot dead center about 20 feet in front of the P5 or the lights would not project more than about 30 feet.... Do you have picture of the light patern at night?

Tx,

When I installed mine, the lights were pointing at the sky. I adjusted them down and I think the pattern is really good. It has a good cutoff so I don't believe I am blinding cars when going down the road. Between the HID's and the light bar, I have plenty of light. The headlights are aimed like a low beam, and the light bar is my high beam. The HID's project a bit further down the road than the light bar. It's a really good combination and I don't plan on changing a thing.

Just got the harnesses that I was waiting on to install. Here are a few pics. I wanted to be able to just connect up to the stock plug and not worry about it coming loose. I took the harness and soldered and heat shrink wrapped them all on. worked perfect and only cost $8 more. Most of the HID kits that I saw that were setup to fit were around $175 so a little work and did the same thing for $48.

I had to adjust the lights way down.. I could see 300 yards in the field but very dim up close. Now I'm bright up close and see about 100 yards out.

Very impressed.... Much better than what-ever I tried or seen before.... Is this with you light bar on?

 

[JTW]

No.. I don't have a light bar.. yet. That's just the HID headlights.

 

[Martin]

No.. I don't have a light bar.. yet. That's just the HID headlights.

Very impressed..... Ordering my kit today. Only bummer is shipping t0 Canada is very expensive and our money is not worth a whole lot these days..... so it will be a 100$ bill all together...

Where did you get the harness from and what is it called so I order the proper thing?

Are they still running fine? I read that they fail fairly rapidly. Did you have any issue?

From the pictures they look the same as I had installed about a year ago. Maybe more. We ride about once or twice a week, which includes about 5-7 miles of dirt road, where we have the lights on. No failures yet. If I remember correctly, back when I purchased, there were comments about ballasts failing. Again, I haven't experienced that.

I keep mine on all the time and in 117 hours they're doing fine.. I did take my ome bulb and stuck it in with the wires just in case.

For the money it's a great little upgrade!

Well well well..... I got my kit installed this weekend and I got deceiving results.... One side does not always comes on... and when it is on, the intensity varies a lot. I contacted the vendor to see what can be done about this. On the bright side, when they get to be both on, they are very bright....
