So I finally figured out how to install my HID kit for my Hella windshield lights!
First off the kit is H3 however the hella bulb hold downs do not work with the HID kit's bulbs. So I had to bend the metal tabs to hold the light down like so:


It seems to work pretty good and the bulbs are secure and only have a slight bit of play.
Next obstacle was that the housing for the hella 500's are too shallow for the HID bulb to fit in. So I drilled a 3/4" hole in the center of the rear of the light (exactly where the hella logo is). The bulb then sits against the grommet which secured the bulb even more. I added some silicone for a watertight connection:



This is where I wired the ballasts to. One wire from the relay for power and one wire for ground was good enough to power both ballasts. Don't diss the mess, I cleaned it up and installed wire loom over all of it before I buttoned it back up:



Now the final product compared to the stock headlights and "stock" Hella 500's on the bumper! I am still seeing spots!!!
