Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 3087 Registered: May-04 | I want to get an HID kit for my truck but I have no idea where to buy. Are they all about the same quality? Ebay has them for cheap but I dont want some cheap POS kit. I was looking at www.hidxenonheadlights.com and they seem pretty legit. I think Im going to go with 8000k maybe 10,000k Im not sure yet. I want a blueish color so which would be better? Anyways any links or suggestions would be cool,thanks. |

I bought my hidkit from there and never had a problem with them. I would go with 6000k thats what i have and i like them its like white/blueish color. The higher the Ks you go the less light you get. 35w is fine also you might want to buy a Hid relay harness off ebay, so the hid kit draws power from the battery instead of your stock wiring harness. If you don't want to spend that much money you could also go with http://www.ddmtuning.com/product.php?II=101 |

But where you select the bulb color and wattage,ect what is the HID harness-dual in-dual out $12.50 more and Error Eliminator type 3 $15.00 more? Do I need those things? |

If you have the 55's for your lows you will get flashed all the time. I must say though, hids really spruce up fog lights. |

Gold Member Username: Stateprop486Phnom Penh Cambodia Post Number: 1877 Registered: Jan-08 | 5000k i got 6000k. the higher the Ks the less light output you will get. Some people confuse it for the opposite. lol like they got 10000k the brighter it is, which is wrong. |
