Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

Okay here we go. I work in a Mercedes/ BMW Bodyshop so I have a slight advantage as to picking up used Xenon (HID) headlamps(FREE!). The set I will be using came out of a 2001 or 2002 BMW 330. They are Bi-xenon, meaning one bulb is both the high and low beam, with the brightness controlled by a little flap that is electronically flipped with the high beam switch. I won't be setting it up for high beams however because I don't plan on driving the AD truck at night very much, and the low beam xenon are still very bright. Here's the original headlight, then its torn down components, Bulb holder and "igniter" (the black box in pic) and the control module (silver box).
