Anyone with experience installing lights like these?

IPF 930\'s

As I now have a pair of these and am wondering wether it will burn out the X's electrical system or cause too much of a drain on my battery to even be useful....

HOLY SH!T those are expensive . But as for installing I would make sure you have a relay and inline fuses and I wouldn't think it would be a huge problem. Look for Troy from RMXC he has probably 400-500 Watts of lights on his truck and I don't think he has any problems.

Good wiring diagram

MY GOD! I would mount them in an enclosed bullet-proof, locked box!

Holy Sh!t is right! On high, these babies are putting out 340W!

As far as the draw, 340W/12V is about 28-29amps. Shouldn't be a problem, but you'll have to go through a relay. I'd suggest two, one for each light. The reason is, most relays are only rated at 20amps. Even if you found a 30A relay, the draw you'd be putting through it would be close to it's rated limit and it would probably not last. Going with 2 relays, you'd only be putting 14A through a 20A relay (plus 20A relays would be cheaper than 30's too).

EDIT - Make sure the wiring you add from the battery is heavy enough too. With that level of amperage, depending on the length of your wiring, 10G would probably be enough, but you may need to go to 8G. I'd look it up somewhere to make sure. Try this Linky . I've used it before and seems to be pretty accurate. There's a table on this page for car audio about 3/4's of the way down the page. It will show how thick a guage you'll need, depending on how far you're going to run the wires and the amperage you'll be expecting them to carry.


HTH!

Geezus, are those the ones they use on locomotives? I'm Blind!

I like this part.."Requires constant airflow when operating high beam"...

Yeah....I'm a little worried that if I can't sell them and try to install them that I end up melting my front grill!!

Well just don't use the highbeams..

Wow... I'm looking for the part that says "Can be seen from outer space..."

You might want to watch for low flying planes too. I don't think and X would survive a 747 landing on top of it...

You guys would probably appreciate these then.

Hella Rallye 4000 HID's . About $550 apiece.

i dont think the guy in the 2nd pic has aenough lights...

It would worry me if I saw either one coming at me in the dark. I'd be thinking, "here come the aliens and there's no escape!"

i know there are audio contests and stuff...

but is there a how much light you can put on your vehicle contest?

damn - lights drawing almost 30 amps..and your OEM alternator only puts out about 80 amps...that leaves only 50 amps to run everything else...

Food for thought.

Might want to swap in a quest alternator or other beefier upgrade?
