Has anyone done it? I can get a bi-xenon kit for like $250 and I am considering making my fiero HIDizzled.

Huh! ???

That just blew my mind...

I've seen some guys use higher power headlights, but not HID. That could look good. Go for it

I've got the Bosch H4 conversion kit that converts from the original sealed beam blubs to a headlight housing that uses H4 bulbs.. Then I've got a McCulloch 6000k H4 Bi-Xenon HID kit in those housings.... Works pretty good, a bit more glare than I'd like but not nearly as bad as most HID swaps...

With that kit I've now got high and low beam HIDs.

Low beam:


High Beam:


High beam from the side:


Wiring (Relays, Ballast, Ignitor, Controller):


The bulb actually has a moving shutter on it, this is what controls high/lo beam..
Low Beam:


High BEam:


THis is the bulb itself without the shutter on it. It is a D2W bulb:


This is the back of the Bosch headlight with the H4 bulb hole:

That looks great you have a write up of how you did it. Looks kinda too bright tho IMO

The pics definatly make it look brighter than it is. The camera was on night setting or something like that...

I don't have a write-up, but it was a farily simple install...

For the H4 conversion, it's just a matter of buying the H4 headlight housings (several companies make them). Once you get them, just swap them out for your stock headlights. The same process as replacing your stock headlight sealed bulb, just putting in the H4 housing instead... The stock fiero wiring for the sealed beam bulb uses the same connector as an H4 bulb, so that part is plug and play.

Now, to go to the H4 HID conversion, the kit was a 'plug and play' kit. There was a connector that plugged into the fiero headlight connector. That connector went to the relays and controller, then the pre-wired kit went to the ballasts and ignitors, then finally to the bulbs and shutters.

The only non plug and play part of the kit was that it needed +12v and ground connected. But that is fairly simple to do. I ended up fully integrating it into the fiero wiring, shortening wires in the kit to proper length and hard wiring it to the fiero headlight wiring instead of using the connector, but that is not necessairy.

Downfall about using HID bulbs in a non HID housing is there is no cutoff for the added glare. From the side you should not have that much glare. Your pic showing the glare on the wall shows just how bad this will BLIND on coming traffic. Glare is very dangerous especially if there is no wall or median protecting you from on coming traffic. When on coming traffic is blinded they have a tendency to drift towards the light that is blinding them.

I believe a couple of the Minnesota boys have HID lighting

The camera over-exadgerates the light output bigtime.. I've driven towards my car in oncoming traffic a couple times and there is very little glare...
