Talking Just installed FF75 Headlights

I just installed my FF75's today. I could not wait any longer for my bulbs. (100W Xenon Plasma) I will just have to realign the lights when they come in.
I was not sure if anyone would pick up on it at first but I drove to a friends after and he was like as I pulled in...He noticed
Here are a couple pictures, new ones are at the bottom of the page.

How hard was install? I have been eyeing these lights for a while now. Is there a page that covers the instalation of them in particular that you know of? Did you use identical lights for lows and highs? What was the total cost when everything was said and done? What is involved splicing wise? Thanks, John.

Well the sun just came out so I just updated the picts with some better shots.
Johnny I..Just check out the "Pics Here!" in silver97Z's sig. It has real good shots covering the install. (that's where I got the idea to do mine..Thanks silver97Z ) The only thing I did different was I spaced my lights down a bit with a large nut as a spacer so the lights were centered. (You can see in the close up shot) But Silvers97Z does look good with the hood shut, so it's up to you
I used the same lights for highs and lows.
Splicing was not a problem. If you use the relay kit that comes in the FF75 fit you just tap into your stock wires with the green relay wire to energize the relay coil when you turn your lights on. Everything you need comes in the kit.

Looks SWEEET man...

Could you do the board a favor and post some daytime pics with the 55w FF75's on, from difference angles? It will help when you compare your 100w ones later, and maybe we can use them in the 4th gen lighting guides.

I would do it, but I don't have my own Digicam...

I don't have a digicam either...you can take pics using a regular 35mm camera and then take it to WalMart or Target to have it developed and just ask them to put them on CD.

That's what I do and when you get them back the pics are HUGE!

Yup, but usually that is not same-day. I'm not stuck in the dark ages, I know you can do that.. j/k.

For TRUE color temp: Digicam > Video > 35mm

Wiring...

I've posted this several times but see some new people looking at installing the Hella FF75's. Here is a link to my page that shows a diagram of what you need to do to wire up the new lights.
