Hella Predator H.I.D. light - how do you adjust them.

At the price of those things, you deserve a personalised training workshop at a retreat somewhere, for the weekend :-) ....... can they be used in fireban areas ?

Willie,
I have the hella 4000 spotlights which I am pretty sure have the same casinngs as the predators. Mine are 7 years old but have given me no trouble at all. If you look at the middle of those flat knobs you should find a keyway to accept an allen key which will loosen them enough to adjust lights. When I had mine fitted two allen keys were suppled with each light, one for the adjusting knobs and a smaller one for removing the front covers to change bulbs if required. Hope this helps.

Willie,
just a P.S. to my reply. Make sure you tighten them up with the allen key when adjusted and they will never come loose. Do it by hand and you could loose them very quickly. If you ever find one in the Simpson deert it"s mine!MPG:3!

Hi Willie,

I have 2 sets of the 4000's and you need a 5 or 6 millimetere allen key to turn those knobs. Don't loosen them too much though cause you'll take the whole light off. Then you'll need to undo the lens to get them threaded again.

Pity they didn't adjust them for you. At $1500 each. (Is that what their worth?)

I've thought about getting a set, but like you said, I'd be crying for months when they get stolen. I Might go the xgt HID's if they have a special at the 4wd show.

PS you need to find a long straight dark road that is flat to adjust them. They tend to move when you tighten them up.

How do you adjust them??

With a welding mask on !!!

Not sure on a good way to theft-proof those housings, you may be able to fit some sort of cable to the bulbar tabs, swaged at each end, or similar.

But like anything, if they want em bad enough they will get them, best get them covered on the insurance.

My son has put a retro fit HID into the main head light on his 954 Honda Sports bike with spectacular results the only draw back is that it is a single filament HID as the Honda gets its high beam from two lights either side of the main head light of which he has fitted a couple of high output Philips Kripton lamps which all up work well together.
Having said that you can purchase high / low HID lights but from what I have heard these are a compromise Low beam is HID and High beam is a Kripton or similar type lamp.
There is a high low fit that uses a magnetic activated deflector that suits H4 type head lights that you might be interested in.
From my research so far use the HID retro fits in the Driving lights and the use a high quality lamp in the headlights gives a great result, all the above is available on the web site below,
