Hey guys i really want to do an HID conversion on my 69 dart.. Im just wondering if anyone else has done it?

Thanks
 
the real question is can it be done?
is there a kit?

i run halogens.. but to each his own!
 
Have you taken a look at ebay. If you search dart headlights you'll find what they say is a conversion, 2 headlight housings and 2 Xenon bulbs.
 
get some conversion projector h4 lights and buy ballasts and the hid box and then you got to split the headlight take out the projector and pop the ballasts in and the lights and then put back the projector and seal the lights back up and then hook it up its more exspensve then it is hard thats what i want to do to my cuda
 
Do you want HID to see better or to make your car look like some sort of poseur ricer at night? If you want to improve your night vision, get some decent H4 lamps, put 80/100 watt bulbs in them and MOST IMPORTANTLY feed them directly off the back of the alternator through relays.

If you want to learn more about good headlights check here: www.danielsternlighting.com
 
Basically you have to convert from the H6024 sealed headlight to a H4/9003 headlight. You can find those on eBay for about $30 shipped and there are many different styles to choose from. Then you can get an H4 HID kit. You can get either the standard one that just has low beams or they make a Bi-Xenon HID kit.

With this kit the bulb actually moves for the "Hi Beams".
I even found cheaper kits for about $200 shipped on eBay.

HID's are nice because you wont have to use relays because they are only 35W.

...oh and C130 Chief, I really wanna be ricer! (Stupid questions receive stupid answers)

i bought some true view h4s instead of the bulbs they had and installed them in ten minutes flat!

there just 7" round housings with a replasible H4 bulb?
did your stock wiring just plug in? also did you run relays?

no the kit you can buy is no longer made.. it came iwht the relays.. i SHOULD install relays as it produces a brighter beam, but im a lazy kinda guy!

its probably a better way to go too to not over load things.. mind you i have already removed my amp gauge and did the proper bypass.
