Never big into football. I know my family in Texas love the horns, then razorbacks.

Got some 9.5" Lightforce 240s to replace my KCs. Also have a pair of H3 HIDs coming for my procomps.

that's a little bit overkill. you should have ordered an h3c bulb like i did for mine. works a lot better since the glass on the bulb is shorter so it keeps it closer to the focal point..

No meaning to offend you, but I'm sorry that looks hidious. If you really need that many lights there are better ways to do it. But honestly if that what you like than that is fine, to each his own. But once again, no meaning to offend you, just not my style.

I'd put some black plastic trim around the holes for the light. If you put a border it will give it a cleaner look.

I plan on getting some steel and making a custom grill to fit them. I needed the extra room behind the grill (Lights are 7" deep) and I had a sawzall lol.

A lightbar offers no protection from an accident or thieves, so this was my best option for right now.

It does look a bit dirty for now, but it would look clean as heck when you get that steel and clean that up

Just installed the H3 bulbs in my ProComps. I'll get pics up soonish.

Raptor - Do you have a chart to help determine lumens? I'd be interested in figuring out how many I'm pushing right now.

For 55W H3s? Depending on voltage, anywhere from 1400-1600lm each.

If you put a voltmeter on the base of the bulb while they're burning I could give you an approximate (within +/-10lm) number.

Ok, I'll get that tomorrow. And they're only 35w :o
