Its a cheap way to get some very decent light output.. Those Narva 175 Spotlight's were best value light under $200, one of the boys at my workshop has them fitted with 35w HID kits and they work very very well..
100W HID kits would be better however produce alot more heat so there is a chance with extended use that it would burn the reflector in the back of the light itself.. The highest i would be fitting are 55w HID which should be quite fine..
Depends how bright ya really wanna go lol

I would think that the chances of the 100w HID kit burning the reflectors would be pretty high.. The 100w HID kit does require a good wiring loom however if you haven't had driving lights before then you would need to wire them up anyways regardless if you get the 55w or 100w kits

mate of mine done this with very similar products a few years ago. Same Narva lights, similar type hid kit. He is now onto the 5th or 6th ballast.
Also, the lights that were on the troll when I bought it had hid conversion kit in them, they are unreliable. Theyre only there til I can afford something better.
