Both.

I'll eventually be doing HID 7" in front on relays/ballasts along with foglights.

There are much better options than HID's in H4 housings... plus that's illegal.

I just put Cibie H4's with a relay harness and 80/100 watt clear Hella bulbs in my daily driver and they're way brighter and have 1000 times better beam pattern than drop-in HID's. Plus you lose the low/high beam function with drop-in HID's.













If you want HID's you need projector housings.

H4 poly housing with graphed BMW HID projector will be legal

Yup... I know I'll need projector housings... (I always laugh when I see people put HID bulbs in newer OEM halogen housings that just take 3/4 of the HID bright light and throw it up into the on-coming traffic or to the stars.

I made my own projectors for my old F150 using an ebay LED angel eye housing and then salvaged BMW HID projector units... turned out awesome. I'd probably try the same thing.... el cheapo poly 7" housings... put them in the oven and cook them apart like I did with ford OEM housings... and then rebuild with a BMW or mercedes salvaged projector housings and graph them back together.





Yes I know... either brights or only 4 forward facing lights are legal.... was for 'off road use only' that I lit it up like a runway.
