Got a pair of LightForce 170 Striker HID driving lights for the HJ75. It will be interesting to see how much better they are than the halogen version.

oooh, i REALLY like the lightforce lights ... expensive but light weight, durable and bright, not cheap.
35 or 55w?
Just purchased some 240 XGT that I plan to put my 70w HID kit into.

LightForce is very proud of their HID models.
We fired them up in the garage and they were almost painful to look at.
I retrofitted HID's into my 240's. Nice improvement over the halogens in output, but the warm up is a little annoying.

I agree the warmup is a little annoying especially if they are tied into your bright lights.
looks great.
you might need one on the rear too, don't want to become fodder for the deliverance squeal, or sequel either...
Are those 24v lamps?

LightForce makes a variety of lights in both 12V & 24V. The halogens on the BJ74 are 24V and the HID's for the HJ75 are 12V.

you can just swap to 24V bulbs ...

I believe ( don't quote me here ) that Wayne is correct when it comes to the halogen models. A simple bulb change is probably all that is required. When dealing with HID lights the other concern is the voltage of the ballast. The amber turn signals in the ARB brush bar only required a bulb change to convert them to 24V.

Karter, No converter was necessary. The driving lights are wired into the normal headlights so they are activated when the high beams are selected. A rocker switch was also installed in the event you wanted bright lights but for some reason didn't want the driving lights at the same time.

They are forecasting snow in the Deep South. I need tips ( attention Canadians ) on installing snow chains.
Chains are not necessarily the cat-daddy considering the tyres you are now sporting. Try airing down to ~16 lbs. It may surprise you.
