I got mine a while back. They where the 150w sealed beam KCs. But they burnt out and KC stopped making them so now i have the 130w bulbs. I believe they where around $110 including shipping.

yeah i was wondering why people on the internet kept saying i have 150 watt bulbs. haha i have 130 lights in my grill and 100s up top. soon to have 55 watt hellas in the center up top. CRAIGSLIST!!! people are always getting rid of old lights. i got my kcs all for new. paid $75 for the 130s and $50 for the 100s. and got paid to take the hellas since they were on a brushguard that i bought for $170 and sold it with out the lights for $180. haha but check craigslist for lights. you can always buy wires and switches for cheap.

which ones you talking about? the cheapos or the name brands? cause they got both. but the hids they got there work really good ive herd. cheap hids, but kind of pricey. for each lights i think its like $117. good price for hids, but still for a pair its almost $300.

if you want really cheap lights. i would by either hella 500s or maybe 500ffs. where are you going to mount them? cause you can do 4 in the grill and 4 on top. do 8 hellas. make sure they are 55 watts. dont want to kill your electrical system. then you can convert them to hid very easily and still only be pulling 55 watts.

thats a cool pic nuts! i want to convert mine into hids. at the mint 400 there was a prerace thing we went to on fremont. and it was cool looking at the trucks before they got their inspections. and i was looking at how they converted their lights to hids. they took the mount where the light was and put a piece of bent metal and put the ballast on it. hard to explain. ill make something on paint. haha

I would love to do it to mine but I would have to fully hid the ballasts... don't want them shown... so might have to play around with my broken HID bulb and see it I can make the wires longer... then hide the wires....

I'm going to buy a set of these this summer and convert them to HID so that it won't draw as much power. They are discontinued, so they are pretty cheap, and I would think they are as good as hella's, and a lot brighter. I have 2 500ff behind my grill now, and will put my next lights on the roof. Check out the seller's inventory, you can buy them in sets of 2, 4, or 6 and either SS or chrome and 5 or 6 inch.
