This is a pretty good video on converting Hella 500's to HID, and the guy is kinda funny too.

Great video but where to mount the boxes, don't think they will fit in the headliner, and on the roof rack I am sure they will slowly start leaking and short out

I can almost guarantee you they would not leak and short out, have you ever opened one of them up and looked inside?
