For driving up here in the mountains at night, you need maximum light to evade the deer, opossums, coyotes etc! So after adding the CTR LHD Hid's I figured some added depth was needed as well.

So I got a set of Hella Micro DE Hid projectors.

I mounted them suspended from the rebar. I used two pieces of 1" square aluminum tubing to use as spacers. (sorry for the crap pics).

And mounted the ballasts to the rebar as well.

I used a OEM typeS fog switch to operate the ballast's relay.

Here is the driving light relay along with the relay for the CTR Hid's and leveler controller.

And here they are turned on.

LOL,,,nah, I had done the same thing when looking them up before, the names are the same just about.


Thnx,,,, with the Hid low beams, Hid driving lights and the Osram high beams all fired up at the same time, the road is brightly lit indeed!
Any oncoming traffic would have their retinas fried!
