Default L88 Headlight

Here is my version of the L88 headlights. I used Hella 90mm module so I can run flat lexan covers. I have to paint the buckets black and the do some minor adjustment but not much The are almost level.

They are not HID. They are Hella 90mm Module conversion lights. I got them from www.rallylights.com All the lights with bulds and connectors and mounting Hardware cost about 325.00 Shipped. But they are a major upgrade from the old factory style lights. The bulds are H9 bulds but you can upgrade and now they do have the HID kit but it is up there in price.

Can you go into detail on the installation? I am curious how you adjust their direction and how you wired them up. Do they use the HID style ignitors?

There is nothing to really they mount like the factory adjustors and you can adjust them from the front or the back. There is no ignitor I just wired them in to the factory wiring the only difference instead of the low beam headlight on when the high beam is on it is off. These only use two wires instead of the 4 like on the old lights.
