Talking HID Off-Road Light Upgrade! HOLY SUNRISE!

So I replaced the 130 watt H3 halogen lamps in my off road lights with 55 watt H3 HID's. HOLY CRAP. I think these things can melt snow before it even hits the ground now!

The H3 HID lamps fit right in, I just had to make a new way to secure them in place since the existing clip didn't fit over the back of the lamp. I used some creative zip ties. Everything fit back together nicely. Mounted the ballasts behind the grill. They are tied into my high beam circuit they come on automatically when I put the high beams on.

First pic: one HID and one halogen off-road light
Second pic: full HID off-road lights and headlights.
