I've actually never heard of Xenarc X2020s. I guess I'm late to the game.
If I didn't hate small detailed work so much Id get some OEM lights pull the lenses to refurb them and do a full retrofit but I despise projects like that.
I much prefer to hit things with hammers
Ditto. It's why my wiring looks like a rats nest. I hate small detail crap. Makes me madder when I see people who excel in it and it makes things look that much better.
The main thing I hate about the little detailed stuff is that I just don't ever have time. If I was retired and could spend days at a time on something I would probably love it. But for example these simple retrofits I started around 930pm slammed them together in about an hour and then it took over an hour to adjust them. By the time I was completely done it was midnight and I had to get up the next morning at 6am and wouldn't be home until 10 or 11pm that evening. Not to mention I needed to drive the Tahoe the next day because it's the most civilized of my fleet.
I would have loved to do the 4hi mod while I was in there or mount the ballast to the underside of the radiator support. Instead the wires are just pushed into a hiding spot until I get more time.
Light output pictures are sorta useless since is difficult to determine how far things are in the picture. However here is a picture of the retrofit output.
All morimoto. The ballasts are their XB series. I've messed with a lot of different brands of HIDs and will only buy Morimoto from now on. I have their 55w setup in my RCSB and it's not much difference compared to the 35w.
