DIY: Converting Hella 500's to HID!!!
Here is how to convert your Hella 500's (or just about any other offroad light) to HID.
Buy lights and cheap HID kit on e-bay:
Remove lens and drill a 1" hole in the back of the housing directly behind the bulb. This is needed because the HID bulb is longer than the standard bulb and it will not fit. If you use a deeper light, this step may or may not be necessary.
Pull HID harness through hole:
Put the HID bulb in, put the lens back on, hook up the wiring, mount the lights and you are DONE!
Yes, it really is that easy.
I don't have mine permanently wired or mounted yet (I am hoping the Randy Ellis light bar thread pulls through).
Here are some comparison pics, stock vs. 4300k HID:
Yes, it really is that easy.
