Re: The OEM low profile light bar, can the lights be upgraded to HID's
Hi i would say you can't upgrade that light bar to hid because their is no place really to mount the ballasts plus the light housing itself may not be deep enough for a hid bulb. Also no one that i know of makes a internal ballast hid light small enough to replace your light housing only. Their is one or two companys that make a HID light bar but they are not cheap. I would just change the bulbs to higher watt bulb but you must make sure the wiring is heavy enough 14gauge with handle about 35 amps. Check and see what bulb is in your light bar. Are you sure its a OEM light bar? Maybe i can find out what bulb is in there for you or someone on the forum may have the same light bar and know the bulb thats in yours. My MC2 light bar uses h7 bulbs it came with 4x 55 watt bulbs that use 4.5 amps each. I changed them to 100 watt bulbs that use 7.5 amps each and i used 14 gauge wire and i changed the fuse to a 30 amp from a 25 amp so its will not pop the fuse. Hope this helps.
