What ive been doing!!!

[panda24619]

heres the rest of my pics. how i ran it and where i grounded it. and how they look with all my lights on. almost killed my battery. brought it down to i think 11 volts after 30 secs. so they draw some amps. o and the wires are covered by black wire cover things. what ever its called. so it looks better now. the green is for the kcs and black is for the hellas once i get them installed. and then the top will have the black wire cover thing too.

It is called wire loom.

It is called wire loom.

thats it. i had a major brain fart!!! haha happens a lot. i was like this thinking about what it was.

 

[panda24619]

gotta my hellas on. now its almost 100% done up top. need 2 more kcs and i will be complete!

Looks pretty good! I have been debating on how many lights I want, but from the space you have, I will probably do 6 lights on top. How hard is it to remove the headliner? Maybe for the wires, you could drill a hole through the rail and roof, then when all of the wires are where you need them, you could put some good silicone on there to keep the water out. I'm sure you could get it to work, then you can hide the wires all together.

Can you get a picture from the side standing a little ways away from the truck? I'm curious to see how they look from the side.

 

[panda24619]

yeah no problem. ill do that in a few minutes. and if you see from an earlier post i didnt remove the head liner. i ran it down the side and down the plastic where the seat belt is. i just tucked it in there. pocked a few holes in the door gasket and put the wires in there. it took more time doing the wire looms then wiring up the lights. even though i had to do a custom work with the hellas. since neither the hellas or kcs have relays.

 

[panda24619]

here you go. the pics like i promissed. o and dont mind the white on the rim. the center cap on the center cap came off. just gonna paint it black when ever i feel like it. heres the first 5. i left the covers on the lights. but i dont have any for the hellas. gonna go get some rock guards at orw once i get my check. before i have to give it all to my gf. haha

 

[panda24619]

heres 2 more. it rained tonight so i turned them on. ****** i can see every drop of water. haha and damn these hellas are bright. not as bright as the kcs nor the 130 watt kcs, but they are bright dont get me wrong. just need to aim the correctly and ill be set! and the passenger hella is all cockeyed for some reason. idk why.

i like

 

[panda24619]

Thank you! i like my wiring. looks almost professional. i just cant seem to hide the kc wiring cause its so weird and long. o well. its not noticeable from the ground so not a big deal.

Looks great! Can't wait till I get mine, I'll be working full time in a month, so they are second in line after getting new headlights and HIDs, I can't stand my headlights I can barely see, so I turn my Hellas on. What Hellas do you have? I Have 500ff's but I don't think they are super bright, more of a pale yellow, but Won't have to worry after HID headlights and 6 130 watts on the roof eventually to convert those and my hellas to HID. . . Then see who's the A$$hole when you don't turn your brights off

 

[panda24619]

mine i found out are the 500s. just basic. but hey i got paid to take them. haha work great. and of course they are yellow. they are behind the grill and i dont think that much light comes out and ask they are halogen. so yellow. and yeah i know what you mean about the hids! haha. but dont get 6 130 watts... wait your getting the dcs right? never mind. haha i cant wait to do the hid conversion. i need new heads too. going to get #5 from the last forum. so shell transform nicely! i work full time in the summer. cant wait!

 

[99 Expy]

Yupp, I'm going to get the DC's of ebay. I'll try to get them converted as soon as possible cuz I can about imagine how much power they will take. . . My list for this summer is new headlights and 6 roof lights, and convert everything to HID, taller CB antennas to get that working, and TT and spacers. Can't spend to much money since I'll be saving up for school this summer, but I graduate next spring and then she will be a different machine.

 

[panda24619]

i graduate this spring too. so i bet ill have some money from there! haha but then she will really be different. first thing on my list is that damn spacer!!! then new tires this year some time. but then heads. convert all to hids and get my ants. but those 2 are which ever i feel like getting first. i think the ants. but i want 4 more kcs. move the hellas to the back i think. and also convert those to hid. haha

 

[99 Expy]

I can't wait to have money to actually spend lol. I'll get the spacers, but don't need any more lift with these tires. But by the time they go, I'll be ready to get a lift if I still own the truck, and I since I'm getting higher miles, I want to get another short block and juice her up. It would be nice to have 400 hp and torque especially up here at high elevation. . . maybe even some FI

 

[99 Expy]

and those heads are similar to what I will get, something that is black and clear, but anything is better than these POS foggy ones

 

[panda24619]

im getting the black and clear ones. and mine arnt foggy. just cant see at night. cause i have bad night vision. why do you think i have these lights?? i know i just need to do the big3/4 what ever it is. need to buy some 0 gauge cable and just do it. itll help out a lot.

 

[99 Expy]

I should look into the Big 3 too. I have great night vision, but my headlights are HORRIBLE!!! and I spend quite a bit of time going in and out of the mountains in the dark, so I can use all the light I can get. With my Hellas off, I can be driving, and not see deer until they are pretty close. Even though I'm still able to slow down, it sucks, and I can't see at all with the Hellas off at sundown. So I pretty much drive with the Hellas on all the time on highways. Not sure if it glares to other people, but they are pointed down as far as they go.

 

[panda24619]

is it legal there to drive with them on? cause here its a nice ticket. but i do it if its really dark. like going to my uncles.
