Hooold up! Just do what I'm doing here in a few days. I've gotta set of Hella's coming in that I'm going to be putting my old HID setup in. You can find HID conversion kits for any light anywhere from $50-100 on ebay.
Do a google for something like 'hella hid conversion' You'll see alot of other forums where its been done. Its really as simple as putting the HID bulb in the Hella and wiring it all up.
The light output w/ the HIDs will be much better than a 100w bulb can do. Plus HID's only take a few watts to run once they're on.
Very true but putting in 100w H3 bulbs costs only about $4 per bulb. Many people can't afford or don't want to spend $50-100 per light.
I have had 100w H3 bulbs in my Hella 500's for several years with no issues. I use a separate 14 gauge wire per light.
The glass lense does get hotter than with the 55w bulb but barely too hot to touch. The plastic housing only gets slightly warm - far too cool to melt anything. The reflector does an excellent job at keeping the heat away from the plastic.
See my wiring of my lights/lightbar in my mods section at the link in my sig.
