wow thats hott, looks like i may be doing some more to the car, is the install fairly easy ?

Serene

yes, just pull the old stuff out, drill a hole and put the new ones in. very simple, and very easy to adjust.

The stock adjusters with the 5.5mm screws take awhile to get out, just get a 5.5mm wrench and tie a string to the closed end so you dont lose it, take your time and they will come out

Just everything Serene said. It is really straitforward - I don't understand why all the same questions get asked in 50 different threads.

This pic was right after installing the first time.

There - you see a rubber washer like piece used as a bit of a spacer - I put a nut on there to space it down the next day.

I am hoping to get a couple of new sets of these, and doing an install on my car with some pics and someone elses with some pics - so we'll see.

Guys - those look great !! I just finished installing brighter bulbs in my stock housings - i guess these would be even brighter ?

Are these bulbs like the 9006's so they are replacable with something like the Xenon type ?

So you guys got them off ebay for like $29 shipped ??

94BlackBowtie

93zder-
Yes, brighter.
Yes, replaceable - H7 bulbs.
Yes, cheap on eBay - search for "FF75". (I think best/cheapest seller is offroad911).

Here's another quick pic of my current spacing setup.

hey, looks pretty good, any pics at night when they are lit up? Can you use a HID set up with these?? I've driven a few aidi's with hid lighting and it is awesome.

I installed my FF75's and they are awesome. I used fender washers on top and bottom of mine to help spread the load out. I was afraid of that plastic cracking. Maybe i'm just paranoid. I also figured the more area my spacer has the more contact surface my bracket has and the less prone to vibration it would have. To all you guys that are upgrading the bulbs to 55watt + i'm just wondering did your Hella instructions say not to do that? My Hella instructions said to not use anything above a 55 watt bulb. I was gonna order a spare set of bulbs to have around and i was wondering if it was ok to get something a little bigger. Thanks

94BlackBowtie

Yes, you can use a H7 HID setup with them.
The instructions also said that the FF75's aren't DOT approved for use as headlights, and that they are only to be used as an auxiliary light.

Z95m6

Thats true but i guess i was just wondering would the extra wattage cause damage to the wiring harness or the extra heat from the bulb damage the reflector or anything. Also whats the max. safe voltage to run on a stock wiring harness?

You will be fine on a totally stock system up to 85w...but I would reccommend a relay for anything over 55w anyhow. With a relay - and the Hella's, feel free to go up to a 100 watt bulb without ever sweating it on the stock wiring.

Will any H7 bulb fit? i guess i just want to find some cheap good quality 85-100 watt bulbs. Thanks Claude
