Sylvania 'XenArc' H.I.D. Headlight Conversion

Those lights are beautiful! Clean install. Very professional.

It's great to see you and others providing new, up-to-date ideas. Very refreshing and breathing new life to the Pantera community.

You're a good man, Marlin!!

Thanks.

Totally cool Marlin! I like the look!

Marlin I have one question about the lights. Are they just driving lights or are they part of the HID system that also has the low-high beams? either which way I really like the sleek look of the smaller lights. Good job.

...They are sold as an 'Auxillary Light' meant to be used 'with' the normal low-beam (and High beam) headlights. I chose these because they were the Lowest profile and brightest output...

...Yes! I would call them 'DRiving Lights'!...

Marlin, When you have the chance, I'd appreciate an operational assessment regarding your XenArc headlight conversion since the July post. Happy with the performance? Would yo do anything different? I'm planning on doing the upgrade as one of this Winter's projects and want to take advantage of any lessons learned you can pass on. Thanks.

Regards,

Ron

Awesome looking lights Marlin. Really transforms the car. Too bad you've lost the night-time air-brake effect. I guess now that you can see further, it doesn't matter that much.

Marlin,

How much did it cost you to do this conversion? Thanks.

The cost? $400. for the kit. Quite a few hours of my time. 2 pieces of aluminum 2"x2"x?(length) 1/8" Thick, 90 Degree Angle shaped extruded metal. I did the cutting with a sabre saw and a fine-toothed blade; VERY carefully!! You'll need drill bits and the hand drill and a few stainless steel machine bolts, washers and nyloc-nuts. Satin Black spray paint. Be sure to see my 'Assessment' of these lights, in the above thread, Before proceding!
