2003 Toyota 4Runner HID lighting install
|
The HID headlights on this 2003 Toyota 4Runner
were installed by repeat customer A.F. of Seattle.
The before and after photo (at right) tells the tale in
and of itself. There is no comparison between the
stock lighting and the HID conversion done by A.F.
A.F. used our 9006 - 8000K kit to upgrade the
headlights, and our 9006 - 6000K kit to upgrade
the fog lights. Because A.F. is using two kits on
this vehicle, he is running 4 ballasts and a battery
relay (optional) for instant power, that will help his
system last longer by avoiding spiking which may
be caused when the engine is started with an
auto-on headlamp system.
A.F. says that he has wrapped his ballasts in foil
because it gets cold in the winter where he lives.
While not absolutely necessary, we do agree with
A.F's logic that the foil should provide both heating
and cooling benefits that will improve system
longevity.
A.F. used the kit supplied mounting brackets to
secure his HID ballasts in the engine
compartment [above: next to the battery and right:
next to power steering fluid].
We would like to thank A.F for sharing these great
pictures of his clean, very professional looking
install.
