Maybe do the same for roof tops as well. But in what housing? As far as a high output alt.... I have been doing audio for years and that's covered. I am back down to a single battery to. At idle, there is still a possibility of a bit of dimming when closing windows, but under load, no worries. 318 amp max output, I think I will be ok.
You will melt the fog housing with 55w. Just use 35w for the fogs. Trust me you will be plenty happy with 55W white's in the lows. Thats all you need to make life better, outside of actual projectors.
Well I have the front bumper all welded up with 5" fog buckets. Now I need to choose the lights. Still thinking of doing 55w HID 5k for everything, but what housing to use for the fogs. It looks like the Hella 550 are the most popular for the roof lights. I just want all the lights to match color wise. So I want to do HID on the roof to, but that means that I don't need to spend the money on a great light if I'm going to change out the bulb anyhow. So again, what housing to use. I want long range output from my roof lights. OR... Do I do a projector housing for it all? then replace headlamps with projectors. OH SOME BODY HELP ME....
