ex headlight upgrade

[my400ex89]

Hey, i thought about taking my stanley 30w/30w bulbs out of my EX and putting in 9007 bulbs from a car, is this crazy? or good idea? Any reason this should give me trouble?

you have a pm.

i dont know alot about the lighting, but i do know youre better off spending the money and buying a conversion kit for HID, or buying high output bulbs made for the 400ex.

ok, i'll check into the HID's i just didn't think that having all that electrical would be reliable, i figured once the ballasts got wet they where shot!

be carefull not to overload the rating of the stator. :cool:

Overload the rating of the stator? speaking of, do u know the rating? BTW: i just did the install, they look great, fit great, and will knock your eyes out!!

I'd like to know what you installed?... the 9007 or what?

how did they fit? just plug in or did you have to do some hard wiring?

[MtnEX]

He's keeping us in suspense I think :chinese:


I looked at the 9007 bulbs, and I figure some hard wiring had to be done... unless somehow the 'plug' disconnects from the 9007 bulb. Yes, it is designed to plug into wiring.

this sounds like a great mod as long as it dosent start frying the electrical system
