97-03 Hella Free Form light install....heavy pix

[twin]

so i picked up a set of hella free forms from a buddy of mine for 40 bux....he said they were collecting dust so i scooped em up....couldnt resist....so heres just a basic install....some people may mount theres differently than i do but some people have different methods but here we go.....

first you need materials...i used 18g black/red wire, splice connects, dremel, and red led toggle switch

in the lovely mid 90 degree weather we have here in Florida its always a GREAT idea to have some delicious beverages available when your thirsty

k meow we can begin the install(sry i did the install yesterday just couldnt wire cause it started stormin so i started over kinda for the forum so lights were premounted in the first couple pix)

-take out headlights by lifting tabs on back of headlight..ive pointed 1 of 2 out in the pic

if you look on the back of the headlight down along the tabs youll notice the headlight lil latches(i tried gettin a pic so bare with me)

heres the inside latch thingyjigger

and the outters(theres an upper n lower on the outside)

after lights out

when you get the lamps out unplug your bulbs(i have HIDs so mine look dif. dont worry stock plugs are 1pc and bigger than my 2 lil plugs)

after you remove lights youll have to unbolt the corners with the 1 bolt that holds it in from the top

on top of the grill youll see i believe 8 phillips screw holding the top on...after you remove the corner lenses theres 2 more holding the sides on

on the bottom on the headlamp holes youll see lil "screw things" unplug em i guess you can call it...all you needs a flat head to pry em out

on the bottom of the grill theres 2 lil pieces clipped in the back(couldnt get pix) but all you do is push up from the bottom and pull foward and it comes loose)

after that the grill comes off and the front looks a lil bare

i used my dremel to cut a lil hole in the frame(couldnt find a drill bit so i used a cuttin wheel...gay i kno..but it workd)

i then used my splice connects to connect wires to the back of each light

after both were wired and mounted this is what it looked like

i had a lil support from the pups..they chilled in the shade while i sweated my ass off...

i ran a power wire to the battery just to make sure they were wired and worked

so now you pretty much redo the undo haha to put everything back together

so now i have hella fogs, factory fogs, and 10k xenon HIDs

the money shot...i ran wires under the fenders and under plastics to hide them so its not to "blah"

while i ran the wires to the toggle switch i re-hardwired my cb (only part of my dash thats messed up)

while i was runnin around squash came over and kept me company(hes my neo mastiff)

mounted and wired the switch

yes i know i have alot of miles but she runs like she has 75k

and hes a lil cockpit view of cb and toggle

well thats my quick install hope you guys enjoy and maybe helped some out in the future
