BFxenon installs the first HID kit... Fiat 500 USA
Once again BFxenon has done it! We have just installed the first HID conversion for the new 2011 Fiat 500! We got the great opportunity to visit OC Motorsports (BFxenon Distributor) in Costa Mesa, CA and install our lights in this new Fiat.
The install was very easy and only took about 45 minutes. the hardest part to the install was finding a place to mount the ballast with so little engine compartment room. This also inspired us to engineer a new ballast bracket to help the install process go more smoothly.
Here are some before and after pictures from the install:

5 things you need to know about HID lights
HID Lighting Facts: 5 Things You Need to Know
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting is the technology where light is created from electrical current passing through metal vapor. In HID bulbs, a tube of glass is filled with gas and has two electrodes on either side. When an arc of electrical current is established between the electrodes, the metallic vapor releases energy in the form of light. HID lighting has several advantages over fluorescent or halogen lighting and is starting to be used more as a replacement for halogen lights as automobile headlights.
If you are thinking of converting to HID lighting, there are five things you need to know:
1) HID lighting has several advantages over halogen headlights
One advantage of HID lights is that HID lights are brighter and give better visibility to drivers than halogen lights. You as the driver will be able to see further and more clearly at night, also other drivers will be able to see better due to your lights.
HID light bulbs also last longer than halogen lights. Since HID lights do not have a filament in them that could burn out like halogen lights, HID light bulbs can last 2000-3000 hours vs 450-1000 hours for halogen light bulbs.
HID lighting requires less energy consumption than halogen lighting. HID lighting uses 35w vs 55w for halogen lighting. Most cars are set up with a 55w output, so if you are converting to HID lighting make sure to install the ballasts that come with your conversion kit so that the output will be reduced to 35w.
2) When converting to HID lighting or replacing HID light bulbs, you want to make sure to always get a matched pair of HID bulbs.
After about 100-500 hours of use, HID light bulbs undergo what is called a color shift. The light emitted by the bulb will shift slightly from a yellowish color to a more crisp blue color. You want a matched pair of HID bulbs so that this color shift occurs at the same time. When buying HID light bulbs, make sure that they have the same manufacturer, part number and use time (if previously used).
3) Understand the Kelvin temperature (k).
When talking about lighting, Kelvin is the old way of measuring color based on how hot something burns. HID conversion kits and bulbs come in different colors and brightness as described by the bulb’s Kelvin temperature. Some important things to note about Kelvin temperature is that it describes the color the light will be and the lower the Kelvin temperature, the brighter the bulb.
The Kelvin temperature scale for HID bulbs goes from 3000-12000k; 3000k being the brightest light and 12000k being the least bright. Typical lights and the colors each admits are 3000k (yellow), 4300k (white), 6000k (light blue), 8000k (deep blue), 10000k (bright violet) and 12000k (bright purple).
4) How to maintain and extend life of your HID bulbs. HID light bulbs last longer than other forms of lighting, but there are steps you can take to maintain their long life.
a. Use the right ballast and housing that is matched to your HID light.
b. Let your bulbs cool down between lightings. Turning an HID light off and on more than three times in an hour reduces the life of your bulb.
c. Set the HID light to burn in the correct position and plane which is horizontal +/-10% burn positioning.
d. Avoid touching the bulb with your skin. Oils and acids from the skin deposited on the glass can damage the bulb.
5) Use caution when handling HID lighting.
Do not handle HID bulbs excessively because oils from your skin can be transferred to the bulb and damage it. Also because HID light bulbs are filled with metallic vapors, in some cases mercury, caution should be used not to break them and when disposing of them. The voltage produced by the electrodes in the bulb is high and could give a shock if you are too close. The headlight assembly will protect you from this, but use caution when changing bulbs.

Dodge Quad Headlamp Install: How-To
How-To: Install BFxenon HIDs on Quad Headlight trucks
Step 1: Remove Grill to access the headlight bolts. You will need a flat head screw driver to remove the clips and a 10mm socket
Step 2: Pull the grill back, lift up on the large tab and pull the grill back at the same time.
Step 3: Remove the 2x 10mm bolts that hold the housing in place
Step 4: In the fender well is a access panel to 1 more 10mm bolt and a long white plastic sliding clip that holds the headlight in. Pull the sliding clip down and remover the bolt.
Step 5: Once you have the headlight housing out, you will need to remove the cap and drill a 1" hold for the wires to come through.
Step 6: Remove the factory bulb and replace it with the BFxenon HID bulb. Use the 2 exposed leads to plug into the factory plug (for power to the ballast). Black to Black and Red to White and Blue
Step 7: Replace cap back into factory housing with the HID wires coming out the back. The wires coming out of the factory plug go into the Anti-Flicker kit and the Anti-Flicker kit goes into the ballast.
Step 8: Mount the ballast and AF Kit. *These are recommended mounting points... you may mount them according to your preference.
Step 9: Test lights before you re-install all the parts. This ensures all the wires are connected properly and you have mounted the ballasts away from any interferences
Step 10: Secure all the bolts back ion place and re-install the grill
Step 11: Take good pictures and send them to: Sales@BFxenon.com
I would like to thank the Stack Performance team for the truck and Tim to help with the install. Check out some of the beasts created at StackPerformance.com

BFxenon represents for the Angels baseball
We had the great opportunity this past weekend to be a part of a great American tradition, Tailgating. BFxenon and Savini Forged got to represent for the Monster Energy tailgating bash at the Angels Stadium on Saturday, April 24th.
There was music, games, trivia, drinks, and of course, cars! BFxenon came out with the Monster Energy edition Dodge Charger while Savini made a stylish debut with an 06 Lamborghini Murcielago all blacked out with some nice Monster green. Here are a few shots from the show:
