Sorry, only on the Biltz. But while looking at Lightforce's website it's looks like the internal are similar you'd just need to figure out how to housing apart then the bulb out. I copied Pfran's(I think) thread on putting 100w in the Biltz.

I've been asked to shed light on my conversion.
I bought a pair of adaptors off ebay that took H1 HID bulbs. I believe from road runner offroad....
Bought a HID conversion kit (70w with 5000 or 5500) bulbs I recommend going to a 4500k if I were to do it again....
Had to buy a pair of extension cables and some extra AMP connectors.
Basically I drilled a hole in the back of the cover of the light to the diameter just below the size of the HID extension cables and fed them through without any amp connectors. The amp connectors are a PITA so I resorted to just assembling new ones after screwing up about half a dozen of them. The amp connectors were put back on after i fed the connector through the light cover. I sikaflexed around the inside of the hole where the extension wire squeezed through.
Haven't had any issues at this point. I like the light it produces. Takes a minute to warm them up and get the brightness up but they are quick to full brightness after being ran for a while and flicked off and on for on coming traffic curtesy.

My Lightforce 170 Strikers were converted to HID and while they were great for off-road purposes, I didn't like them In traffic because of the warm up time. They are now back to halogen.
