I went and bought a £30 candle power flashlight from B&Q (UK Hardward store) with the intentions of converting it to HID (H4) and spend as little money as possible:sick2:
I put it next a apple and a can of beans to compair the size to but the pictures dont do it any justice.
Well i started off by taking it to pieces to see what room was inside to fit the ballast and i found that most one the inside to taken up by a plastic cage that serves no purpose
After i removed the cage i measured up and its 11cm high x 10cm wide x 6cm deep which is more that enough room could fit two in there if i wanted too :naughty: (only if i had room to fit the bulbs)
Heres a picture of the size of the front 27cm
The lamp has high and low beam due to the h4 bulb, and i want to fit a bulb a 4200k-5000k something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H4-HID-Dipped...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a7a08f8d Which is a h4 hid low beam with a piggy back halogen high beam arrangement, Im going to swap them round so the hid is the high and the halogen is the low, So i can use it as a normal (low output) torch and hopefully it will keep the hid warm for when i have the need for high light output usage.
I also want to change the battery for something better the diamentions are 15cm long x 9.5cm high x 6.5 wide.
