KC SlimLight HID conversion pics

[AJKZ71]

ok so here it goes. did a HID conversion on my KC Slimlight offroad lights. The only down about the installation of the bulbs, was i forgot about the "slim" part....DUH. The HID bulb was alot longer than the OEM KC halogens. this being said, i took a torch and heated up the back of the light until it got red hot, place a socket on the glowing red metal, and hit the socket with a hammer. After doing this with both lights, i finally got enough clearence to seal the lights up. Then it was just wiring them up. By the way the light bar is made by Smittybilt its called "street light bar". Its got 4 tabs and just bolts where your license plate bracket goes with just 2 bolts. Sorry about the small pictures. The bulbs are H3 6000k. And the Slimlights are long range lenses. The HID really made a HUGE difference in brightness.

i still have to paint them. i blasted one a little too hot and put a hole in the back of it so i jb welded it and sanded it down. once theyre painted youll barely even notice.

Not bad. Yeah with a little paint, they'd look like they were meant to be that way.

i want to get 2 more and do the same thing with them. idk if i wanna go with the slim light again and go through all that again so i might settle on some daylighters.

Does the beam pattern scatter badly with the HID's in the KC's? I've seen several driving light HID conversions where the beam looks nice when up close, but the beam gets scattered due to the different focal point of the HID Arc. Looks good though man! Love the smittybuilt!
